Firefox and the Gecko family of browsers are not simply web browsers; they can be extended to provide custom functionality, and used as platforms for building standalone applications. During this
presentation Philip will discuss the anatomy of the Gecko engine and the Firefox browser, extensions and how to create for example an extension for the Firefox 2.0 browser using Aggreg8 (
http://aggreg8.mozdev.org ).
Philip is a 2003 Software Engineering graduate of Dublin City University. He has been working at Karova Ltd for two years, on ecommerce and custom web applications, and now holds the position of
senior developer. Outside the office, he hacks on Firefox extensions and small python or PERL based open source projects. He loves C#, XSLT, Python, MySQL, WxPython, SVG, XUL, Gecko,
Javascript, RSS and CSS.
