XUL & AJAX a match made to last

I have talked about it earlier but never got the time to make it happen. In the next few days I will start the project once I launch dotbeta. I had worked on a site eastern serenity around 2 years ago. We had implemented a shopping cart a lot of other things from scratch. But in todays context the site is a little dated. It uses tables and it is not very well optimised for SEO. I will try to convert it into a table less website and also lets see how far my SEO tip and tricks work on that site. Currently it has a PR of 4. The site has a lot of very good content but very bad SEO. Lets see how far I go on with this project.

That is one part of the project, the other part is to convert the admin area into XUL based web application. It would be a showcase of how a web application can be converted to XUL and why it is productive. I will setup a domain where you could play around with the sample admin area completely developed using XUL and AJAX. Stay tuned using the Atom Feed

Let me first list down all the possible platforms and then list down the pros and cons that I feel are associated with each platform. Java ME (The platform formally known as J2ME) Windows Mobile Linux Palm Brew Symbian Blackberry iPhone iPhone Let me start with iPhone the darling of the media and blogger's till about a fortnight. I had real expectations from iPhone as a platform but the way its been going so far I would never bother developing for it. Officially there is no SDK with which one can build applications. What ever tools the community had built have been rendered useless with the iPhone 1.1.1 software upgrade . The community might be able to hack a version for 1.1.1 but without any support from almighty apple its just a cat and mouse game. With every minor release the applications ...
