Session 1: Online Mapping and Related Technologies
Presented by: John Donoghue

Mr. Donoghue will provide an overview of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and discuss the capabilities for application developers to utilize mapping technologies in their applications. He will demonstrate programming with freely available application services such as Microsoft's Virtual Earth, but will also discuss and demonstrate the capabilities available in commercial GIS systems such as ArcGIS (by ESRI). The presentation will focus on web-based technologies but will include some discussion of database and desktop technologies as well.

Downloads: The presentation and a sample ASP.NET web site are available in the download area.

The file-based web site contains Virtual Earth samples and includes a menu page that contains a short explanation of what each HTML and ASP.NET page does within the site. The site contains all the XML files and a sample Access database for use by feed.aspx to generate the GeoRSS XML on the fly.
