Open Web Apps and the Mozilla Labs Apps projectRobin Hawkes
In this talk Rob will introduce the Mozilla Labs Apps project and the related technologies that are helping it happen. The aim of this project is to produce an apps eco-system on the Web that uses open technologies and gives developers and users the freedom to sell and use apps in the way they want.
Aside from the conceptual issues that this project tackles, Rob will also cover some of the JavaScript APIs that are being worked on to provide the necessary functionality for apps. It is these APIs that allow developers to create an immersive experience within their apps that they wouldn't have been able to achieve in the browser until now.

This shows that most people would want to improve my double
page spread the most, followed by the colours and layout. Feed
back I got back said; the colours chosen were too plain, the
contents page was plain and too many clustered pictures, the
black font runs into black photo, maybe less writing, include other
photos, front cover looks a bit bare, and the typography looks
amateur. While others said it looks bright and would keep it the
same.
