Hello,
In case you're in the Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada) area
allow me to highlight tomorrow's upcoming mini talk titled "The Future
of the Web: Rich Clients, Rich Browsers, Rich Portals" covering markup
languages that go way beyond HTML and that let you create rich
"classic desktop-style" internet applications using web techniques.
The Vancouver Software Developers Network (VanDev) will host the
mini talk tomorrow, that is, Tuesday, February 22, 2005 at 7:00 PM at
the UBC Robson Square Downtown Campus in room C550.
See http://softwaredev.meetup.com/17/events/4028039 for details.

PS: Please, note that the VanDev format encourages speakers to keep
the one-way presentation as short as is reasonable in order to focus
on interactive discussion. I will follow the format and hope to be
done in about twenty five minutes.
If you're undecided, here's my talk slide lineup outlining the topics
I will try to touch on:
o Why Rich Clients? Why Rich Browsers? Isn't Dynamic HTML (aka HTML,
DOM, JavaScript) enough?
o One Language Can't Do It All: Beyond Hairballs and Spaghetti Code
o What is XUL?
o XUL Vision
