Spletne urice: Harnessing the Mozilla platform

Kiberpipa - V sredo 23. novembra ob 19.00 vas vabimo na osme spletne urice. Tokratnja tema je izkoriščanje platforme Mozilla. Predavanje bo v angleščini, saj bo predaval eden izmed programerjev, ki od Mozille živijo, življenska pot pa ga je zanesla v Slovenijo - Brian King.

Mozilla technologies offer unique advantages over traditional software development toolkits. Using Mozilla, you are combining proven open web technologies with cross-platform rich client application development.

It is a Web-ready platform. At its heart is the XPFE toolkit (XUL, XBL, JavaScript, CSS), and on the implementation level is over 2,000 XPCOM interfaces and an architecture to plug-in your own components. This talk will look in detail at some of these technologies, demo some applications, and look forward to the next generation Mozilla runtime application, XULRunner.

Brian King has been involved in the Mozilla community since 1999. In that time, he has worked on both free and for-profit software built on top of the Mozilla Application Platform. He is one of the core site admins at http://www.mozdev.org, a community site for hosting Mozilla-based projects and for promoting Mozilla technologies. Brian is an independent consultant, focusing mainly on Mozilla application development, and does much of his work for Mozdev Group, Inc, a Mozilla services company.
