A Good Resource for Learning XUL & Javascript?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday December 28, 2004 @09:55AM from the ground-floor-learning dept.

RJabelman asks: "I'm trying to write a Mozilla extension, but I can't find a decent resource to learn from. Tutorials abound for packaging up an extension, and the web's littered with Javascript snippets to pretty up a web page, but there seems to be very little authoritative information for doing serious work with Javascript, XUL and Mozilla (and more specifically, manipulating XML). I can find my one true resource for every other language or API I've learned: but not this. Can anyone point me to theirs?"

Try searching for ECMAScript, there's a spec out there somewhere.

What I want to know is - where is the Python support? Perl? Ruby? Any fucking language that's not as painful and brain dead as goddamn javascript. I read somewhere that it was a goal to be able to use other languages - why can't I?
