My first encounter with Firefox

Firefox

Like many I thought Firefox as just as any normal browser before my encounter with Firefox club in my college.Previously I used it only as a browser.But after joining the club in my college I learnt that there's more to Firefox than just a browser.It's not just a browser,it's a community.

Firefox introduced me to whole new concept and i.e. open source.

First when I have heard of it(as it was a complete a new concept for me then)  I was taken back.It was developed by volunteers all over the world for building a safe and secured internet but not just for money.Though at first I was not that impressed by the concept but later on,that simple and single concept changed my point of view or my perception at looking things differently.At first I never understood as why would someone give their code or their hard work access to all.Then I learnt that "there's much more important than money in this world".

Thanks to Firefox and to my club in my college I made my first app in my life,and ya the first moments are always special so as this.The first app I did was a simple,basic,static app using html and was titled-Dance Forms.The app contained the information related to different dance forms in India and their respective images.And no,I'm not a pro dancer,I do OK.Now I'm working on my second project.

The things that made me fall in love with Firefox is

• it is simple and fast
• open source
• safe and secure.

I had hands-on of Firefox OS enabled developer phone with the help of my president Santoshviswanatham. The phone was great.Recently I have read that Firefox is trying to build a smartphone which costs not more than 25$.I was shocked by reading this.This is something great and very helpful.All the best to Firefox team.Hope this turns out soon....!The other thing I liked about Firefox is the way it helps students,developers all around the world like nobody else,the best part is it releases app themes every month and announces prizes for the winners.

Then came Firefox app days in our college-the first of it's kind.Everyone in the club worked hard and the work was divided among the members.I designed the t-shirts for the event and the guy wearing the t-shirt bearing "R" is me.The experience taught me many things.It was quite an experience.

Last but not least Firefox taught me a lot things and left me with great experiences.
