Creating XPCOM Components

Creating XPCOM Components

Creating XPCOM Components is about Gecko and about creating XPCOM components for Gecko-based applications. The book is principally a long tutorial that describes the steps you take to make your C++ code into a component that can be used in Gecko, but it also discusses all of the tools, techniques, and technologies that make up XPCOM.

The XPCOM Components book is arranged so that you can follow along and create your own components or learn about different XPCOM topics individually.
As in a reference work.

For example, the introduction includes a discussion of components and what they are.

The first chapter-in which you compile the basic code and register it with Mozilla-prompts a discussion of the relationship between components and modules, of XPCOM interfaces, and of the registration process in general. XPCOM abreviation stands for the Cross Platform Component Object Model. REF: C++ Programming, Online C++ Book
