Mozilla announces web development initiative

Mozilla announced Webmaker, a web development initiative aimed at teaching the average user the building blocks of the web. Users can join a 'code party' and learn web development with provided authoring tools, and existing developers can volunteer to run their own events, according to a post on Slashdot.

“This summer, we're inviting everyone to join us to meet up, make something cool, and learn how the code behind the web works. It's called the Summer Code Party, and it starts June 23. Mozilla is joining with dozens of other organizations to make this happen,” Mozilla has officially announced.
