I guess I never really did explain what BuddyUp is so I'll do that right now. BuddyUp is an online help app like you said and there are helpees and helpers. Helpers are obviously the ones who help while the helpees are the ones who require help. You need an account to be a helper but you can be a helpee without an account, you are just given a random name. From what I understand anyone is a helpee and helper though, I think those terms are used mainly for testing because with my account I can ask or answer a question at any time. There is also a vote system to upvote good comments but there is no downvoting and a leaderboard features who was the most helpful every week. I think that answers your questions about BuddyUp and you can also download the app on your own device.
I read some of the beginning of the book but I don't think it's necessary to summarize it because it just talks about the author and a bit about why FirefoxOS is appealing.
Ahh, but why does it say Firefox OS is appealing? That seems very important to me. If you are going to take the time to learn a new technology, I would certainly hope there is something appealing about it that makes it worth the effort.
