Project News for Oct 9

I've looked through bsmedberg emails on XULRunner (XR) for this week. For a starting point, I wanted to start with the simplist task first, creating a "Hello World" application for XR. I've searched through quite a few websites, mainly from the MDC. For the first half of the day, I couldn't find any websites which actually guided me step by step on how to create a simple XR application. The closes website I found was from [http://blogs.acceleration.net/ryan/archive/2005/05/06/1073.aspx Ryan's Blog]. The blog had a tutorial on how to set up a XR application but it missed one important aspect, how to run the application.
After this, I realized I've been putting too much time finding tutorial on how to create an intutive XR application. Perhaps no one has posted any on the web yet. So I tried to reverse engineer an existing XR application, [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULMine_sample_XULRunner_Application_%28external%29 XULMine]. Unfortunately I wasn't very successful. The code for this application seem too complex for myself to understand.
As a result, I started my search all over again. Fortunately, I missed a link which was on MDC XULRunner, [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Getting_started_with_XULRunner Getting started with XR]. Thankfully, I was able to create my first "Hello World" application on XR. I wasn't able to finish writing documentation on this but hopefully by the end of the week, I'll be able to manage some time and have this completed.
