I'm looking forward to the official release. Do you (or anyone else, for that matter) know if more advanced CSS3 support is planned for Firefox 3/XULrunner 1.9? In particular, being able to use multiple background-images inside a browser element would save me so much HTML work. Perhaps it's already too late in the game for big changes, what with both at the release candidate states... Thanks for the heads up! I’m looking forward to the official release.

Thanks for the update Mark. The SDKs are newer-ish right? Any docs or tips on what's in those, or where to get started? Awesome news! Thanks for the update Mark.

As for writing code in your preferred language, C would require straight XPCOM. Java and Python would require usage of JavaXPCOM and PythonXPCOM respectively. Ruby currently doesn't have a language binding, although an old, non-functioning version exists somewhere.

Something as simple as a calculator will do. Even though there are apps like SongBird which are Opensource, their code bases are too complex for beginners to learn from.
