Like your local real-estate agent says “it’s all about location”, so is this session. As your users are mobile, so is your website. Responsive design has enabled us to deliver excellent website experiences on mobile devices. Location data can be used to make progressives enhancements to a website, like sorting addresses by distance. Location data can also be the sole purpose of the website, like a restaurant finder.

This session covers the key concepts and techniques needed to build location features into a website.

The inspiration for this session comes from Stephen's development of FoodTrucksIn.com, at website that provides details on more than 4,000 food trucks and food trucks event in the US. Listing food trucks in more than 775 cities, FoodTrucksIn.com uses location services to list trucks and events that are closest to you. As a responsive website, it serves food trucks and customer on all devices. FoodTrucksIn.com is becoming the primary source for discovering food trucks, growing to more than 25,000 unique visitors per month in less than one year.
