MAIN TOPIC ABSTRACT
HTML5- Geolocation
HTML-5 introduces a standardized access to geolocation data. We will look at the interface and how to use the data. We will explore the privacy settings and how they are handled as well as how to determine accuracy of the locations. We will look at how to utilize the data and how to implement a fallback if your browser does not yet support the HTML 5 geolocation features. We will explore this interface on firefox, opera and Android
- Laying the Foundation
- Privacy and what it means
- The Geolocation interface
- How accurate are my results (speed versus accuracy)
- How to use the location data for something useful
- Fallback alternatives

BASIC CONCEPTS ABSTRACT
Introduction to HTML-5
Html 5 introduces several new tags and a concept called meta data tagging. Many of the tags are supported in various browser and mobile platforms. The new tags concentrate in two categories, Structural and functional and we will explore both types. We will also look at fallback strategies so you can begin using the tags and have them function in browsers that don't yet support the full HTML-5 suite. We will be looking at how these new features function on Firefox, Opera and Android applications
