Programming Firefox Building Rich Internet Applications with XUL

This book serves as both a programmer's reference and an in-depth tutorial, so not only do you get a comprehensive look at XUL's capabilities-from simple interface design to complex, multitier applications with real-time operations-but you also learn how to build a complete working application with XUL. If you're coming from a Java or .NET environment, you'll be amazed at how quickly large-scale applications can be constructed with XPCOM and XUL.

It's not just a how-to book, but a what-if exploration that encourages you to push the envelope of the Internet experience.
