XForms and Internet Applications: First steps in RDFa: Creating a FOAF profile
by Xavier Lacot
& 1 other
Now that the RDFa syntax document is in last call, and people like Yahoo! are starting to index the data, it's worth putting more of your own data into your web-pages, using RDFa. A simple place to start is to modify your home-page or blog profile so that it includes FOAF information.

XForms Everywhere » More powerful XForms actions thanks to iterations
by karlcow
XForms 1.1’s small number of actions are surprisingly powerful. By combining them, you can do almost any operation you can think of within an XForms page. Yeah, XForms is Turing complete.

Create a Mobile Widget.
by karlcow
Les widgets de Yahoo Mobile fonctionnent avec… XForms.The Blueprint language is ultimately based on XForms, though in this first version the data-binding apparatus is omitted to behave like simple markup. Future versions of the language will support the full MVC features of XForms and be able to be run directly on devices.
Declarative vs Procedural
by karlcow
R: Scripting is said to be more expensive for developers. Is there quantitative evidence? H: This is not a computer science issue. It is in the field of usability and psychology. The declarative way may be more difficult for programmers, since programmers are used to thinking in procedural or object-oriented ways. There is place for both declarative and procedural ways. Even hybrids.

Elegant Code » XForms - The Coolest Little Technology You’ve Never Heard Of
by karlcow
In order to get the XForms to do something interesting, it is likely you will need to include some other dynamic content technology into your application. I have had some success in including the Yahoo UI AJAX library and triggering the AJAX controls using the data model event handlers. A model of this implementation is illustrated below.

Use Firefox XForms to create your own Sudoku
by solrac
Sudoku quietly appeared on the scene in the United States in the last couple of years, and then became a phenomenon, just as it had in Japan. Someone you know most likely has played it, if not yourself. Because Sudoku is based on very specific data patterns, you can use XPath expressions to evaluate the progress the user has made in a specific game. You can also use these patterns to easily use Mozilla Firefox XForms extensions to generate a game board that enables the user to play.

XForms in Firefox
by pvergain
& 3 others
XForms makes development of Web-deployed applications faster and easier. XForms' clean architecture makes applications more robust, more scalable, faster, and more secure. Except for one little detail, developing with XForms would be a no-brainer. That detail is that no current browsers actually support XForms out of the box. Needless to say, this severely limits what you can do with XForms and where you can deploy them.
However, there are workarounds. Browser plug-ins exist for both Windows® Internet Explorer® and Firefox that add XForms support to these market-leading browsers. XForms processors have also been written in Flash that can be deployed to any browser with a Flash runtime. Finally, there are server-side solutions that precompile all XForms markup to classic Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and JavaScript programs.
These solutions all have something to recommend them, but for first learning XForms the simplicity of support right in the browser really helps. You can write a piece of a form and then preview it. Then you can change it a little bit more and preview it again. If the form doesn't look quite right, tweak it a bit and reload. Server-side solutions like Chiba are good for deployment, but for learning nothing beats the rapid development cycle of a browser. Therefore, in this article I focus on using the Mozilla XForms plug-in in Firefox.

Using the experimental Mozilla XForms extension, you can process XForms in your browser today. While not yet deployed widely enough for use on the public Internet, XForms may be suitable for some intranet applications.
