Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Session 1: Foundations of JavaScript programming in the browser. Language concepts, browser environment, events.

Section 4: Audio tag and foundations of audio programming/mixing.

After the five lectures, students compete in a HTML5 game
programming competition. The competition will run for 4 weeks. Mozilla will host a discussion forum for students to communicate and collaborate and ask and answer questions amongst each other. The goal is for students to implement an interesting HTML5 game or visual demonstration. Whether it's to create a re-implementation of existing games (HTML5 pong?), or a full fledged 3D game, anything goes. All participants receive various swag from us. The winning game will be featured prominently on Mozilla's website and the best students will be offered an internship at Mozilla.
Cosponsored by the Student Information Processing Board.
