Notes

in my heart I long for someone to come along with a true Web runtime that lets developers write to a standards-based multi-vendor platform that no one company owns. Democracy is messy, but the Open Web is worth it. Don’t read one article and think that it can’t be done.

pyx: Getting Started Developing for Firefox OS Screencasts

Notes

As we are ramping up newer developers to help with the project, we need clear documentation of the development process. The Gaia/Hacking page is the canonical reference for how to do absolutely everything, but it's overwhelming. To help with this, I made a series of 5 screencasts that cover the basics of using b2g desktop nightly builds, remote debugging with b2g desktop, hacking on gaia itself in b2g desktop, flashing a phone with gaia changes, and what to do if Firefox OS asks you to choose from two homescreens or if remote debugging does not show your source for your app.

Past Midnight: Debugging Firefox OS

Notes

A few months ago, long before the Firefox debugger had shipped, I had tried to see what it would take to get it to debug B2G, or as we call it now, Firefox OS. The hack proved successful and with time it grew into an important debugging target for us. I demoed it at JSConf last April, but at that time a lot of the debugger frontend functionality had not been available in nightlies. As of yesterday, however, nightly builds of Firefox can debug nightly builds of Firefox OS, both in the device and desktop versions. Let me give you a quick rundown of the necessary steps.
