##Abstract

Firefox OS is a new mobile operating system from Mozilla. Apps are all written in HTML5 (HTML, CSS, JS) instead of the traditional compiled languages that have been used on mobile devices.

This talk will walk you through the app develoment process. From creating your app manifest, to testing your app in the simulator, to pushing your app to device. It will not cover details like submission to the marketplace or inapp payments.

##Speaker Bio

Wraithan is a software developer for Mozilla working on the Firefox Marketplace (specificially payments). He spends a lot of his time getting involved with his local tech scene in Portland, speaking at NodeJS and Python user groups.
