• BlackConnect - Java-to-XPCOM bridge that allows interoperability between Java and XPCOM components.
  
• Getting Started with PyXPCOM, Part 2 - Explains how to access Mozilla objects as a client.
  
• XPConnect - Javascript language bindings. It allows Javascript objects to transparently access and manipulate XPCOM objects and also enables Javascript objects to implement XPCOM compliant interfaces.
  
• Evaluation of Interprocess Communication Methods in a Component-based Environment - This thesis evaluates several of the available techniques for interprocess communications (IPC) in a prototype system for distributed components using XPCOM as the basis. It also takes into consideration marshalling, the transfer of complex data structure
  
• XPCOM, Part 4 - Covers component authoring by using a GPS receiver as an example component.
  
• XPCOM, Part 5 - Puts the final touches on the example XPCOM implementation, shows how to install the component, and demonstrates simple testing methods using XPCShell.
  
• rbXPCOM - Ruby language bindings. Ruby is an object oriented scripting language developed by Yukihiro Matsumoto.
