      Comments about O'Reilly Media HTML5 Geolocation:

      I found the book very informative, a quick round-up from bottom to top of everything needed to get some geolocation HTML pages up and running.

      The sample code, however, did not always work directly after cut-n-paste - be it the random character thrown in at a random location of the source code, or just dead links to resources (just 2 months after the book hit print).

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Guys - If something makes me sick here is example. Examples in your book aren't working properly - missing brackets in code and so on. Examples 1 and 3 - please be more accurate.

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

            Comments about O'Reilly Media HTML5 Geolocation:

            The subtitle 'Bringing Location to Web Applic­ations' is particularly apt to this thorough and useful volume. In HTML5 Geolocation Anthony Holdener takes a programmatic approach through full cycle, exploring the nature of loc­ation, the technicalities of goelocation and definition of the JS W3C Geolocation API. It goes beyond this mere definition of accessing the API to exploring the ways in which this information can then be utilised using a vari­ety of the Mapping and geolocation API's avail­able as webservices and ways in which the data produced can be shared using existing standards.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
