Description:

More than ever, users expect to interact with maps on the Internet. Developers need lightweight and capable ways to integrate interactive maps with their websites. Applied Geographics has been solving web mapping problems for over six years. In this time, we have created solutions for displaying geographic data from different servers simultaneously, allowing users to interact with that data comfortably and giving developers ways to streamline their code. This presentation will discuss these mapping problems, some of the existing open & closed-source solutions and how our approach has produced the foundation of a new, open-source JavaScript mapping API. This talk is geared toward both coders who know a little mapping and GIS users who know a little coding.
