It's not a self-help book by any means. It goes beyond that. There are reasons why we love or hate anything we do, and this book goes into detail to answer the great question, "Why?"

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2002 A very good book + I found this book well worth having This book gives a solid grounding in the principles involved and acts as a primer to the nitty gritty of producing a XUL application. In practice, XUL is pretty easy but it's easy to be caught unawares which is where a book like this comes in.
