User Taxonomies: Categorizing Users

You've heard of custom taxonomies for posts, now learn how the same concept can be applied to users. In this simple demonstration you will learn how to categorize users and display their profiles in an online directory. We will go through a recently built live site, dig into the code and give you the tools to replicate this technique in your own project.

OPENING PRESENTATION:

PushUp (http://pushupnotifications.com/) allows you to selectively deliver on-demand notifications right to your visitor’s desktops as you update your content. While PushUp currently supports Safari Push Notifications on OS X Mavericks, support for other browsers is coming soon. See a simple demo of PushUp, and be the first to see a sneak peak of how developers can use our API to deliver notifications for other kinds of events.
