Servers

  • April 2014 Issue of Linux Journal: High Performance Computing

    Reuven M. Lerner starts us out this month, this time with information on how to leverage geolocation information in your Web application. Whether you want to give your Web visitors a local weather forecast or just want to present them with location-appropriate options from your Web applications, geolocation is a powerful tool. Since the Internet is global, it’s important to know where users are located. Reuven shows how to integrate geolocation awareness into your Web applications. Dave Taylor follows with the next in his series on Zombie Dice. It may feel like you’re just making a cool game, but it’s really just a ruse to help you learn something. (Well, it’s a cool game too, but you really are learning!)
