Tech Talk at Mozilla Online This Saturday 3pm 09/08/2007

Hot on the heels of our open house last Saturday (about which I will blog shortly), we are pleased to present the first talk at the Firefox Forum, which will be a series of seminars for the Firefox community at large held at our offices. As the first speaker, we are fortunate to have David Baron, a long-time and very senior participant in the Mozilla community. The talk will be in English.

Talk title: Web Page Layout/Display in Mozilla

Speaker: L. David Baron

Date/Time: 3pm, Saturday, September 8, 2007

Place: Mozilla Online Ltd., SP-Tower C-1701, Tsinghua Science Park

Talk abstract. This talk will give an overview of the code in Mozilla that is used to display a Web page and the Web standards that code is implementing. The talk is mostly about the parts involved in the appearance of the page on the screen (CSS, layout, graphics) and a little bit about scripting (Document Object Model, Javascript).

Above the speaker. David Baron is a software engineer at Mozilla Corporation, working mainly on CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), layout (calculating positions of elements), and fixing memory leaks. He has been working on Mozilla since he was in college. He is the owner of Mozilla core modules including Layout Engine, Style System, String, and Mozilla Tools, a peer of several other Mozilla modules, and a member of the W3C CSS working group.

Light refreshment will be served.

[...] 在mozilla/firefox开发社区混过的人,应该没有不知道dbaron的。1998年,年仅18岁的他对CSS发生兴趣,开始参与mozilla社区的测试,写了一套后来很著名的css测试用例,并成为W3C CSS工作组的受邀专家。1999年到2002年,他作为当时mozilla的东家Netscape的实习生,慢慢从测试转为开发。2003年,dbaron已经是mozilla中CSS模块的顶梁柱,并且成为super reviewer之一(整个社区只有二十多个,是保证整个开发正常运转的核心)。 本周,这位传奇八零后美国工程师就要登录中国,周六在谋智网络做一个题目为” Web Page Layout/Display in Mozilla “的讲座,具体时间地点看这里吧。和这样的CSS专家交流的机会可是不多,反正我会去的。 [...]
