A very interesting article titled Creating Rich Web Applications by Connecting XUL with PHP, will show you how to create a web application with 3 popular open source tools – Firefox, PHP and MySQL! Okay we are all aware–ahem– that there are other ways to create rich web applications using proprietary software that can be rather expensive, and I wouldn’t for a moment say that this method will displace those software packages. But the hacker in you will be somehow pleased to know that if you ever wanted to you could simply put Firefox, MySQL and PHP to use to these ends. And how cool is that?
