The Laszlo Presentation Server
The Laszlo Presentation Server leverages existing developer skills and familiar technology infrastructures to enable deployment of rich Internet applications into any browser today. It sets the standard for a new class of interactive and sophisticated Internet applications that facilitate a radically improved user experience on the Internet with unprecedented reliability, security, and performance. Laszlo's platform is the only rich Internet application platform that:
Deploys into standard server infrastructure
Leverages industry-standard development skills, tools and workflow practices already familiar to Web developers
Displays in any of today's popular browsers
Isolating the presentation layer from business logic, Laszlo applications can run on a wide range of Internet devices and integrate easily with XML data sources. With Laszlo's patent-pending presentation layer, developers and businesses can liberate Internet end-users from the click-page-refresh paradigm with a new class of applications that combine the usability of desktop software with the administrative advantages of server-based deployment.

Creating Applications with Mozilla
This project hosts the ongoing development for O'Reilly's Creating Applications with Mozilla book. In order to keep all of the information updated and current with the latest developments in the Mozilla community, the contents of the book have been made freely available under the Open Publication License.
Summary
Mozilla is not just a Web browser. Mozilla is also a framework for building cross-platform applications using standards such as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), XML languages such as XUL (XML-based User-interface Language), XBL (eXtensible Binding Language), and RDF (Resource Description Framework), as well as Gecko, Mozilla's rendering engine, and other technologies.
The Mozilla development framework also makes use of programming languages such as JavaScript, C++, C, Python, and IDL (Interface Definition Language), plus framework technologies such as XPConnect and XPCOM, Mozilla's component model.
In addition to Netscape's Mozilla-based browsers (Netscape 6.x and 7.x), the Mozilla framework has been used to create other browsers such as Galeon and Chimera, and chat clients such as ChatZilla and JabberZilla. Developers have also used Mozilla to create development tools, browser enhancements, and games, as well as many other types of add-ons and applications.
This book explains how applications are created with Mozilla and provides step-by-step information about how you can create your own programs using Mozilla's powerful cross-platform development framework. This book also includes examples of many different types of existing applications to demonstrate some of the possibilities of Mozilla development.
