- 6. ClojureScript on top of FirefoxOS The best part
- 8. Apis ● 3 permission levels (web, priviliged, certified) ● HTML5 (http://caniuse.com) ● Communication ● Hardware ● Others
- 9. ➔ HTML5 APIs ➔ Alarm API ➔ Push API ➔ Archive API ➔ Network information ➔ Ambient light sensor ➔ Proximity sensor ➔ …. WebApis for regular applications Regular Applications default hosted packaged
- 11. APIS ➔ Contacts ➔ Browser ➔ Device storage ➔ TCP Socket ➔ systemXHR ➔ …. Privileged applications Publishing App-store Verified certified
- 12. Certified applications - only OEM partners, money helps too APIS Telephony Wifi Camera SMS Network stats ….
- 13. Webactivities How i can call, send sms or take pics? Delegate.
- 17. Pult: code ● pult ○ websocket + chord ○ core.async ● pult-server ○ http-kit ○ java.awt.Robot
- 18. Pult: structure $> lein new foxy pult ● clojurescript ● manifest file ● repl configuration ● gitignore
- 20. Final remarks ● no inline code ● no inline CSS ● no eval() ● (main arg1) ● 3rd part libraries may not work ● workflow: web > simulator > device

- 22. Epilogue Not “cutting edge”, unbeatable HW/price, open & popular platform
- 23. IPhone1 vs FxOs
- 24. Good fit for: ● apps ● startup founders ● testing mobile sites ● IoT ● Kickstarter DIY ○ Hackable 8-bit sound generator ○ smart watering controller ○ $100 red button with API
