Summary: Many WebApis are implemented in JS. I implemented 2 APIs (contacts and settings) in JS and will share my experiences. I will talk about writing an interface, connecting it to the navigator object and how we deal with separate processes. B2G is currently running apps in separate processes and we have solutions in JS that allow us to communicate between processes.
How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals (https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCampEU2012/Tracks): It is a good start for people that want to contribute to B2G in the near future.
Expected Outcome or Deliverable: Attendees should be able to write a quick prototype of their custom WebApi for the browser or the B2G phone.
Desired Audience Type or Skill-set: Basic JS knowledge.
Equipment Needs (Video projector already included):
