Presenting at LinuxFestNW 2012 on HTML5 Geolocation

This weekend I’ll be presenting at LinuxFestNW 2012. We (Esri) will also have a booth there, so if you are in the area of Bellingham, WA swing on by.

My topic will be HTML5 Geolocation and I’ll be talking about building applications using the HTML5 Geolocation API from A to Z. I’m going to start out looking at basic coding patterns, then we’ll discuss accuracy across different browsers, look at many common gotchas, and I’ll be giving tips on how to effectively implement it with local and remote database. If you attend, come prepared to get a full dose of HTML5 goodness.
