Mozilla Workshop & Hackathon At JNTU-Kakinada

It was a dream to give a talk in Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, were many colleges are associated with[including my college]. We traveled around 1000+ K.M [To the Event and From the Event] but we were all ready and energetic for the Big Event named Mozilla Workshop and Hackathon which was divided perfectly as day1 would be workshop on Mozilla and later Day2 was hackathon.

Ill try to keep all it simple and easy to refer :)


Day 1 :  Pleasant Morning Sunshine, people were slowly gathered in the Hall by the time we reach. We sticked to our plan and schedule to be done for the day. Everything went well and the crowd was very interactive with questions. We wrapped-up the day1 with rules and requirements for Hackathon on Day2.

Schedule was:
  • Who is Mozilla? What are products of Mozilla? 
  • Benefits of Contributions? Areas of Contributions?
  • Privacy on Web and Web RTC
  • Webmaker
  • Introduction to HTML and CSS
  • Firefox OS App Development
  • Game Development for Firefox OS using Construct2

Day 2: The people are gathering the hall with there laptops and to start of building many wonderful applications for Firefox OS which may be useful to others. Later hours the hackathon was getting into peak level and people were nervous and started off with lots of queries about building there apps [finally it looked like personal hands-on- sessions] but was fun to learn new logic's while building them. Soon after few hours from lunch, people are getting ready to show-off there applications to public . After Demo session we have given Ending Key notes with a wonderful Mozilla Video.

Schedule was:
  • Hackathon 
  • Networking and Hands-on for freshers
