Globe partners with MozillaPH for RP leg of FireFox OS App Days

Firefox OS App Days aims to showcase Mozilla's open source operating system for the mobile web and to teach tech developers how to create mobile applications for the Firefox OS. With Firefox OS, developers can easily create cross-browser applications for the web and portable devices such as smartphones and tablets. This means more opportunities to come up with stimulating and interactive websites as well as better and more powerful applications.

"We want to reach out to both individuals and teams of developers, mostly young professionals and students not only in Metro Manila and its outlying areas but also in other parts of the country, particularly Cebu and Davao. By partnering with MozillaPH, Globe would be able to keep abreast with advancements in technology especially in the mobile space," said Anne Michelle Santos, Developer Relations Manager of Globe Labs.
