Sharon Minsuk will be teaching attendees how to make browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome, with a guest appearance from Irakli Gozalishivili to introduce Firefox's Jetpack project. Bring your laptop and be ready to hack! Level:No knowledge of browser extensions needed. Javascript experience very helpful. The more JS experience you have, the better, but if you attended the first Confident Coding workshop, "Intro to Javascript", then you will be able to write at least a simple browser extension. Schedule:The event will run from 10am to 5pm. Mozilla will provide morning coffee & snacks and a vegetarian-friendly lunch. Sponsors: Trainers: Sharon Minsuk website:

http://kachingle.com Sharon Minsuk left her previous commercial software job (working on the Apple //e, in Pascal and assembly language!) and missed the internet revolution entirely while she was busy studying small sea creatures in a laboratory. Now she's back and working at Silicon Valley internet startup Kachingle, where she has continually dared to venture into territory she knew nothing about, working on the JavaScript front end, the MySQL database, and the PHP in between. Somewhere along the way Kachingle needed a browser extension, and Sharon said "I can do that!" and proceeded to get one working on multiple browsers. And so can you!

Lukas hasn't made an extension for a long time so will be learning Jetpack at the event while also helping coordinate everything and assisting attendees with questions where possible. Irakli Gozalishvili website: http://jeditoolkit.com bio: Irakli works on the new add-on system for Firefox at Mozilla. He loves hacking, functional programming and playing musical instruments he doesn't know how to play on.
