Kalideoscope tutorial

This tutorial takes you through the steps involved in creating a mortgage application using KALIDEOSCOPE editor. We will start with a simple single person application and extend it to allow multiple applicants illustrating in the process how to make use of XUL page definitions, framesets, styles, validations, page navigation and data binding.

Each step of this tutorial has an associated directory from which you can run (run.bat) the application as it exists up to that point. It also contains all of the pages, images and resources needed to run the application.

Notes:
This application uses framesets. It could just as easily use a single form layout. This can be done by removing the 'Frames' property from the startup.properties file. The startup page is then specified using the 'StartClass' property and setting it to the name of the XML defined start page.

1 - Installing the kalideoscope Plugin
2 - Creating a new project
3 - Creating some basic pages
4 - Adding navigation with page events
5 - Binding data to controls
