Hello,
This is my first day learning about FXOS applications. I have limited knowledge of HTML and css, as I have taken a Codecademy class and started a Khan Academy class about JavaScript, HTML and css integration in web pages. I have programmed an application for android in Java, and followed along with an Artificial Intelligence class in python through the website EDX. I made a very simple connect four game using canvas and JavaScript, but have never officially made an HTML, css and JavaScript application. I am very excited to learn how to code on this emerging platform, as this experience will translate into experience in web app development as well. Today I started out going through a tutorial created by a fellow student about programming an application at http://www.openbookproject.net/tutorials/fxos/index.html. I had a little trouble understanding the end of the tutorial, however I plan to start to design an application that will allow me to apply what I learned to an application of my choosing. I am excited to start and I will see you next time,
Eric
Please let me know how you like the Khan Academy class. I've been meaning to look at that, and your assessment of it would be most appreciated.

Here is the app that uses node.js on the server side that Finn wrote:

One other really useful thing you could try this Summer (given your experience with Android) would be to finish an app for Firefox OS, and then see how easy it is to use Apache Cordova (https://cordova.apache.org/) to port it to Android.
I thought that the Khan Academy class that involved combining HTML and JavaScript was great, and between it and my science fair project(in Java, with jquery-like library) I was able to pick up jquery without a tutorial.
