Mozilla Events: May 2015

A Two day Workshop has organized by Firefox Club,JUET Guna at Jaypee University of Engineering and Technology,Guna on 16th May and 17th May 2015 in collaboration with 'Tachyon' Technical fest of JUET,which was mainly focusing on web app Development.This 8 hour workshop taught the interested participants about how to develop Firefox OS App with the help of HTML5,CSS3 and JavaScript.

Our delegate from Mozilla India Mr. Kumar Rishav who did intern at Google Summer of Code, 2014 with mozilla organization and presently works as Marketplace Users’ Review Moderator at Mozilla delivered the workshop. Our another delegate was an software engineer from Bhopal, Mr Vaibhav Bajaj.

The workshop was way more happening than expected because the delegates were very ebullient and kept the participants involved and the participants reciprocated in the same manner. Mr. Rishav taught the students from the very inception. Developing your own Mozilla Firefox OS App in the very first & second year of Engineering gives you that #being_a_CS_engineer feel and to keep that emotion alive we had exciting Mozilla goodies for the participants who perform exceptionally well. The mentors kept the tabs on the participants in case they got stuck somewhere and were always available to weed out the can of worms. Such workshops are often stereotyped for being bromidic but the delegate duo was well inured and handled the workshop with equanimity and broke all the stereotypes.

The last hour was the icing on the cake. Participants were asked to enroot an app of their own and the best three apps were afloated on the Mozilla Firefox Marketplace for free and their developers were awarded with attractive Mozilla Tees.

The feedback from the students proved that they were quenched from the workshop. With bells on, the entire core team of Firefox Club JUET Guna went out for lunch with a sigh of relief as their efforts turned out in conducting a benevolent and efficacious workshop.
