weak, somewhat deprecated
6 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
xul appears to have changed a lot since this book was printed.
many of the xul tags discussed and used, the xul templates used,
have changed. thus, most of the xul examples in the book are
not going to work in firefox.
e.g. the xul css skin url is no longer the same. lots of tags
such as "titledbox" have been renamed.
i'd say this content is deprecated.
also, in my opinion, these chapters add no value
to the book and in general weakens the
existing content:
an xml primer
css
the jxul project

Great book! Very little BS
23 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
Bought this book about a month ago, so I think I've had a pretty good chance to review it. It's very good, despite the fact that Mozilla hasn't got up off their keesters yet! I'm an XML developer with limited Java experience, but the JXUL project they put in there as their open source project is very, very cool! That I think was worth the price of the book.
I personally thought the RDF chapter was a monster (scary to me!) but very well covered! I'm sure when I progress as a programmer I'll be doing a lot of the RDF.
I think the book is very well written, especially considering I am still a beginner/intermediate web developer.

Good Book, But Gets Complex!
5 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
I just picked up a copy of this book a few days ago, and I was impressed with the in-depth sections on the book (XBL, RDF & XUL Templates, for example). I feel that the book is layed out in a very good way - the first section has overview of 'the basics' (CSS, XML, XUL), the second section has advanced features, and the third section had case studies. For people who are new to programming, and don't know XML, I would recommend another book before you start this one. The later chapters may be too complex and hard to digest for non-programmers.
For me, I am familiar with XML and some of the Mozilla technologies, so I could skip over the intro section of the book. I am finding a lot of benefit out of the XUL Programmer's Reference section, as well as the advanced section. This book, used in combination with xulplanet.com, can be a good resource.
