Mozilla Developer Network Is Now A Decade Old!

Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) is an open and collaborative learning platform for Web technologies (HTML, CSS and JavaScript). MDN goes beyond providing essential coding information; it addresses developers’ needs through its supporting community of volunteer developers, with the aim of inspiring ideas, encouraging collaboration and ultimately, fostering the growth of the open Web. For a wide range of Web developers, from learners to hobbyists to full‐time professionals, MDN provides useful explanations for coding practice, instructions on downloading and building code, articles on how the code works. It also gives guidance on how to build add‐ons for Mozilla applications and apps for Firefox OS,  user‐submitted  runnable  demos  of  Web  technologies,  and  helpful  answers  on  development planning and strategy.  

GADGET X:Cherry Mobile Ace Powered by Firefox REVIEW

After all these years, finally Firefox OS has finally landed in the Philippines. However, the biggest risk it will encounter is how they will be introduced to the Android and iOS loving public. Penetrating the market which has been dominated by these players will be a challenge, but Cherry Mobile made a monumental move to include a firefox phone into their roster in 2014.

They launched Ace powered by Firefox  with an introductory price of P1499. Eventually last December 13-15 they had a promo to drop the price to P999. And with a good reception for the Ace, they have it offered on the discounted price on cherry mobile stores.

The Ace is definitely not the high end phone that you would expect for a pioneer phone. However it aims to introduce to the public the features and use of the Firefox OS and how can it be compared with android and iOS phones. Ace is also the first Firefox phone in the Philippines, and with its price it can also be said to be the most affordable smartphone in the world.

Firefox Phone In The Flesh

In the world of Androids, iOS, and Blackberries, you would think that there wont be another OS brave enough to venture to the waging mobile OS war which is taking the world. Firefox OS is also here and I have seen it in the flesh for the first time. 

Indeed there are just test devices for the Firefox OS device like this one which I tried for the first time via my tech friend who is Firefox evangelist. The Firefox OS is very similar with android but with a more simpler interface which takes up less memory and of course less energy thus extending battery life. The apps works with ease but I have look forward when the memory is maxed out.
