From: Ted Roche Subject: [GNHLUG] August 6th CentraLUG: Special Location, Roger Trussell presents Writing FireFox Extensions Date: Monday, July 23, 2007 01:39:46 PM The monthly meeting of CentraLUG, the Concord/Central New Hampshire chapter of the Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group, occurs on the first Monday of each month starting at 7 PM. Due to summer hours at the NHTI Library, we will be meeting at the Sybase offices, 6 Loudon Road, Suite 501, Concord, thanks to member (and Sybase employee) Larry Cook. DIRECTIONS: From Interstate 93, take exit 14 and head east over the Merrimack River. Immediately after the bridge, take the first right. Drive straight back to the cornfield, then turn right and then right again to get to the south end of the building. Walk around the building to the right to come in the front (east) entrance. Take the elevator to the fifth floor. Straight off the elevator is Sybase. Enter and turn left. At the end of the hallway is the conference room. Google Map: http://tinyurl.com/2rtc8k Open to the public. Free admission. Tell your friends. Roger Trussell will present a session on building Firefox extensions. Firefox extensions are small zipped blocks of code that add new functionality to Firefox, from a simple toolbar button to a completely new feature. Extensions allow Firefox to stay small and unbloated. Extensions give content providers another way to make certain 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 support roles for health care, software, research, and manufacturing environments. He has worked at many companies throughout the Upper Valley such as DHMC, isee systems, inc. (formally known as High Performance Systems, Inc.), and Timken Aerospace. Roger holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy NY. One of Roger's main interests is bridging the gap between programmers and end-users. He has worked on software installer technology and he has worked in end-user support roles.
