Upcoming Mozilla books

Two new Mozilla development books are on the works and due for early next year.

The first one: Pro Firefox Extension and Application Development, by Kurt Cagle and Mark David Peterson, "is the first book to show how to extend Firefox's capabilities using JavaScript, the eXtensible User-Interface Language, XForms, CSS, XUL, and XBL.", according to amazon's Editorial Review. Kurt Cagle, "is an author and developer specializing in XML-based technologies". The 600-page book will be available on February 26, 2007.

Programming Firefox: Building Internet Applications with XUL, by Kenneth Feldt, "is both an in-depth tutorial and programmer's reference that offers a systematic approach for using Mozilla's Cross Platform Component (XPCOM) library for building applications with XUL, the XML User Interface Language." The author has years of experience in XUL development to give programmers a comprehensive look at XUL's capabilities, from simple interface design to complex multi-tier applications with real-time operations. The book will be available on January 1, 2007.
