Guys, guys, one question…

Can I build apps for FirefoxOS without owning a phone? I mean just html/js/css using an editor and testing it on an emulator. That's the way I do android apps and I don't have a phone.

Can I? Can I?

I believe Firefox OS and html based apps are the future. I want to start building it now.




Yes, there's a simulator that you can run on your desktop computer. See [1] for instructions on installing it.

Yes you can. I've wrote a free book giving you all the path, you can pick it up at:

You basically need a recent version of the Firefox browser and the Firefox OS Simulator add-on. The rest is having a nice editor and doing your web stuff.
