  XUL article at SitePoint (Part 3) & 'Creating XPCOM Components' ebook

  The 3rd and final installation in Harry Fuecks' introductory article, Introducing XUL - The 'Net's Biggest Secret: Part 3 has been published on SitePoint. Nice wrap-up with excellent links to interesting projects like MozBlog (allows blog updating in Mozilla over XML-RPC) and the Luxor XUL SWT for Eclipse that will bring XUL into that very IDE. Stay tuned (I will).

  An ebook on creating XPCOM components, Creating XPCOM Components has been released. Only for C++ developers though.

  Mozilla tips and tricks

  I started a thread entitled Mozilla tips and tricks over at SitePoint Forums in hope of getting people to post their favorite extensions and tips, as well as possibly promote Mozilla (I'm a FireBird addict).

  Other than those I'd found, a member posted a link to http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/ which seems to have a very wide collection of links to extensions. Check it out.

  Oh yes if you're using Mozilla or FireBird now, you can see XUL in action just by right-clicking the toolbar (where the 'forward', 'backward', 'refresh' buttons are) and choose 'Customize...'.

  SitePoint Community Crier - article

  The SitePoint Community Crier has made a comeback with issue 42. Great job by the Community Team at SitePoint Forums! They've done an excellent job of revamping a newsletter that had been text-only and previously terminated a few months back.

  Now time for a little self-promotion ;). The Community Article, "Writing Well-formed, Standards-compliant SQL", is my 2nd published article on the Crier. Take a look and give me any criticisms or comments - I live to learn from mistakes!

  Design Patterns ebook

  I came across this great free ebook entitled the The Design Patterns Java Companion available here. I'm not sure why it is free, but it seems a legitimately free copy seeing as JavaCoding.net links to it prominently. I'm barely past the first chapter and skimmed through it quite a bit, and it seems to be a very useful example type book.
