Detail With broad compatibility, the latest in web technologies,
and powerful development tools, Firefox is a great choice for both
web developers and end users. Firefox OS's promotion of HTML5 as a
first class citizen opens up the walled gardens of mobile
application development for web developers. It is because of this
initiative that no special SDKs are required to develop for Firefox
OS. This book will help you excel in the art of developing
applications for Firefox OS. It sequentially covers knowledge
building, skills acquisition, and practical applications. Starting
with an introduction to Firefox OS, usage of WebIDE, and then the
application structure, this book introduces applications of
increasing complexity with each chapter. An application that
measures your tapping speed, a geolocation tagging application, and
a photo editing and sharing application are the three applications
that will be built from scratch. You will learn about topics such
as the difference between various types of Firefox OS applications,
application manifest files, offline apps, and designing principles
for applications. You will also learn to test and submit the
applications to the marketplace and finally maintain the repository
of the Firefox OS application. By the end, you will be able to
develop beautifully designed, fully-fledged, and rigorously tested
Firefox OS applications and also share them at the Firefox OS
Marketplace. Style and approach This book is an easy-to-grasp
workflow with practical examples of real-world applications such as
Clickr, Check In!, and FotoFox. Each chapter explains the concepts,
which are then reinforced as they are demonstrated in an
application or a flowchart.
