It's pretty obvious by now that geolocation is a heavy player in the next wave of applications and APIs. Now is the time to learn how to take advantage of this information and add context to your own applications. In this session we'll look at geolocation at every layer of the stack - from open protocols to operating system APIs, from the browser to Windows Phone 7. Building a compelling geo-enabled experience takes more than simple coordinates. In this session Tatham will introduce the basics of determining a user's location and then delve into some of the opportunities and restrictions that are specific to mobile devices and their interfaces.
