Mozilla Webmaker is an unique event of its kind. Bringing people together and spreading the awareness about the open web and how to make stuff for the web is an amazing idea. Here at 19th August, 2012 in IIT Rajasthan, we organised a Mozilla Webmaker Hackjam.
It was the a different experience all together. As this was the first Mozilla event I was organising inspired by the rest of the Mozilla Reps in the country. Things went very well.
We started of with the basics of HTML/CSS and then moved on to the usage of Firefox Developer Tools for building webpages. To make things interesting a major part of the session was dedicated to JavaScript and libraries like jQuery, so people can learn to build modern websites. Concepts of AJAX and JSON were also talked about with each of the attendees and building it with their own hands. After all nothing is better than the first hand experience! Finally to demonstrate the usefulness of these technologies, a Twitter search application was made by the usage of Twitter APIs and JavaScript entirely.
