Plucker Projects

Below are some screenshots of the Creating XPCOM Components book converted to Plucker format. With the author’s permission, I am making this available here in a handheld format for the community to enjoy (thanks go to Doug Turner for the permission, thanks Doug!).

The original material was provided in a fairly-clean HTML format. Some additional adjustments had to be made to the HTML to correct it for validation. Two versions of this converted work are available; one in high-resolution format, and one in low-resolution format.

High-resolution version - 700,290 bytes
Low-resolution version  - 399,800 bytes

The high-resolution format has full-color narration images and images for navigation. The low-resolution version has greyscale images and textual navigation. Other than that, both versions are functionally-identical.

If you’d like me to convert other works of this quality email me and let me know.

To view this in the best format possible, you can use my Plucker Anti-aliased fonts. I’ve converted the fonts shown here in these screenshots here into a format suitable for Plucker.
