On February 23rd we presented a webinar focused on using Amazon Web App Starter Kit (WASK) to build and test web-based Apps for Fire TV. WASK is a web-based template designed for the 10-foot user experience and includes UI controls, support for the Fire TV remote, sample UI components, support for various data formats and more. To get started, all you need is a feed from Youtube or Brightcove or a media RSS or JSON feed. Then you can customize the look and feel of the app using CSS tags and add/remove features using the Javascript files included in the project.

During the webinar we covered these topics:

• How to kick-start your web-based TV app by connecting the WASK template to YouTube.
• How to easily customize the interface and the main features of your app.
• How to test your web app in a browser and quickly apply edits to the project.
• How to run and test your app on a Fire TV device.
• How to submit your app on the Amazon Appstore to reach millions of customers.
