Start building XUL based applications with this introduction to XUL and its technologies. With so many different programming languages and operating systems, developers have been clamoring for a single "meta-language" to develop user interfaces that are cross-platform and cross-device. Mozilla.org responded by creating the eXtensible User interface Language (XUL), which allows developers to break from platform dependencies and develop rich, dynamic user interfaces in record time. Mozilla.org designed XUL to work together with such technologies as Resource Description Framework (RDF), XBL (XML Binding Language), JavaScript, XML (eXtensible Markup Language), and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Essential XUL Programming provides developers with an in-depth tutorial on developing XUL-based applications. The XUL library allows for the development of dynamically compiled Swing user interfaces using a XUL document as a description language.
An introduction to the markup technology of XML, this text covers its features and abilities as well as explaining the strategic importance for developing Web-based applications. It: helps students envision how XML can be used to gain a competitive advantage in E-commerce; offers substantial hands-on experience in using and understanding the workings of XML; clarifies confusing terminology that currently pervades the field; and encourages the development of more sophisticated E-commerce applications. The book also shows students the many ways that XML-based applications can be deployed, using available technologies and referring to anticipated developments based on work in progress. Provides students with more than just a cookbook programming text, and challenges them to apply XML to typical EC scenarios. Tutorials with a general XML theme e.g Data Content; Data Definitions; Data Output; and Parsing XML to Collect Data.
The power of XSLT is its ability to change the structure or format of any content that can be converted to XML. Java and XSLT shows you how to use XSL transformations in Java programs ranging from stand-alone applications to servlets. After an introduction to XSLT, the book focuses on applying transformations in some real-world scenarios, such as developing a discussion forum, transforming documents from one form to another, and generating content for wireless devices. Java and XSLT discusses several common XSLT processors and the TRAX API, paying special attention to performance issues. Although there's a brief tutorial introduction to the XSLT language, the primary focus of the book isn't on learning XSLT or developing stylesheets; it's on making practical use of transformations in Java code. The book covers: XSLT Basics; XSLT Beyond The Basics; Java Web Architecture; Programmatic Interfaces to XSLT Processors; Using XSLT with Servlets.

Unlike many other authors, Richard Light doesn't assume that his readers embrace the new technology he describes -- in this case, XML. At the start, he answers the question of why XML is even necessary. Presenting XML provides information in usable chunks, allowing the reader to easily scan the subchapter titles. Geared toward the user somewhat familiar with the tenets of web design, Presenting XML includes information about basic HTML concepts such as entities and attributes and explains the best means of converting existing HTML to XML. Light later delves into creating XML applications. Presenting XML is comprehensive, full of resources and examples, and contains a well-documented index. For anyone wanting the whole story on XML, this book runs the gauntlet from introductory tutorial to trusted reference guide. Designed to provide a simplified version of SGML, XML may be the future of the web because it allows tags to be used as needed.
Following a complete introduction to XML concepts and syntax, you'll rapidly discover where and how you can take advantage of XML in your own applications, and how to create new and innovative applications that use XML to achieve powerful results.
