It’s not quite my thing, but seeing as I posted a bit about XUL recently I thought this might be interesting:
Zulu is a layout engine for producing rich cross-platform user interfaces, using XUL standard and Flash MX technology
Month: September 2003
As I may have mentioned before, we have really bad documentation and specification practices at work (i.e. none).
That’s why we love tools like the great ESSModel. UML diagrams and documentation from Java source! Hurrah!
Having spent the day doing some maintenance work on one of our legacy sites, I can hand on heart say that old sites using tables for layout are far, far, far harder to edit than current sites using CSS for layout.
Even given its weaknesses (the web dev department’s favourite this week has been inline-block, or lack thereof), give me CSS any day of the week.
