Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

This week Cedric Savarese describes an interesting technique for optimizing dynamic web apps on
Mozilla-family browsers by using XUL in the place of JavaScript for
widgets and page elements.

XUL-Enhanced Web Apps
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2007/01/31/xul-enhanced-web-apps.html

An interesting development recently, from the editorial point of view, isthat we at XML.com have
learned just how popular these weekly email newsletters have become; in some ways, I suppose,
we're all a bit jaded about email campaigns, and so we don't expect that
much to come from them. A pleasant, surprise, then, to be wrong about that. Apparently all of you
out there find them useful, so, starting this week, I'll be putting a bit more in...

First, from the XML.com micro-blogosphere:

Rick Jeliffe, What Should I Do?
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/02/what_should_i_do.html

Mark Pruett, Do Sync Calls Freeze Browsers?
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/01/do_sync_calls_freeze_browsers.html

Kurt Cagle, Limited EXSLT Support in Mozilla Firefox 3.0
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/01/limited_exslt_support_in_mozil.html

Next, a quick look at some of the popular articles on XML.com right now;
maybe you'll want to read some of these, if you haven't already?

Hacking Maps with the Google Maps API
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/08/10/google-maps.html

Also relevant:

Hacking Election Maps with XML and MapServer
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/05/31/electionmaps.html

A piece that in some ways we published too soon, since GWT hasn't yet seen
anything like its peak, in my estimation:

Google Web Toolkit
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/07/12/google-web-toolkit-ajax-java-ant-xml.html

For what it's worth, I've been using GWT in my other day job -- building Semantic Web apps for
enterprise and government customers -- and it's a *real treat.*

RSS and AJAX: A Simple News Reader
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/09/13/rss-and-ajax-a-simple-news-reader.html

And one from my browser tabs:

Haskell and Set Theory
http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2007/02/haskell-and-set-theory.html

Which prompts me to wonder if it's time for an XML.com article about
HaXml? Email to kendall@xml.com, if you have an opinion or -- even better -- an outline!

Finally, sorry, Chicagoans, you live in one of my favorite cities, but
congrats to Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning, and the rest of the Super Bowl champion Colts.

As always, thanks for reading.
