7:20 Writing Firefox Extensions
Presented by Roger Trussell
Roger Trussell will present "Writing Firefox Extensions".
Firefox extensions are small blocks of code that add
new functionality to Firefox, from a simple toolbar
button to a completely new feature, giving content
providers another way to make features more accessible
to their end-users. We will see some quick examples of
how to build extensions for Firefox 2.x using XML and
JavaScript. We will also see a demonstration of some
useful extensions available for web content
developers.
Roger Trussell is a programmer with over five years of
experience in a variety of roles for health care,
software, research, and manufacturing environments. He
has worked at many companies throughout the Upper
Valley, including DHMC, ISEE Systems, and Timken
Aerospace. Roger holds a Bachelor of Science degree in
Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute. One of Roger's main interests is bridging
the gap between programmers and end-users.
8:50 Roundtable Exchange - where the attendees can make
announcements or ask a linux question of the group.
