Summary: This session is about sharing some of my own experience of becoming a platform developer and creating a new WebAPI (mozPrintCallback-API). This session will give an overview of how a new WebAPI is "created", some short introduction on how to get going building Firefox and start hacking the C++ codebase. Sharing some of my own experience what makes hacking the platform hard and how to make it become fun. At the end of the session, audience should be motivated to bring up their own API ideas and don't be scared anymore about trying to implement them themself.
How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals (https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCampEU2012/Tracks): Creating a new set of WebAPIs is key to enable Firefox OS. While there are lots of them created now, there are still huge areas, that don't have APIs yet. This talk tries to make people want to implement new APIs and therefore make new things possible on Firefox OS and the open web in general.
Expected Outcome or Deliverable: More discussion about WebAPIs and people implementing them.
Desired Audience Type or Skill-set: Basic knowledge about coding C++/JavaScript.
Equipment Needs (Video projector already included): None
