Esri Web Developer!
About three months ago, I got a voucher from Esri to take a free Beta exam. It’s always nice to see how much your knowledge holds up with the latest software, so I took the dive to participate in the program.
New tools, new ideas, new job
So, after about 10 years of working for Roxit (called Syncera in the past) I started working for Tensing Safety & Security since november ’15. Besides being a bit of a shock to my former collegues, this is still getting used to for me as well. It’s been 6 months and whereas I was a…
AngularJS + OpenLayers 3
This is just an awesome project, and I’m liking it more and more everyday. When I started learning AngularJS, my prime goal was to build a method of making easy OpenLayers maps. David Rubert (tombatossals on GitHub), however, beat me too it, by far. (as I’m still learning the intermediate things of Angular) This is…
Incoming book: Book of OpenLayers 3
I saw this a few weeks ago, there is a new book incoming about developping with OpenLayers 3. It is being written by Antonio Santiago and it looks promising, so I thought I might as well share it here. Update: you can now purchase the book. It says it’s 70% completed now. Update2: 100% completed!
OpenLayers 3.0 released!
Just noticed that OpenLayer 3.0 is now officially released a few hours ago. As a big fan of the project I recommend you to take a look at it. Although the development packages were released through ol3js.org, they have now moved back to the official Openlayers website.
Building OpenLayers 3 on Windows (Update: Working!)
Let me just start with the bad news, I haven’t been able to get this thing to work just yet. (Update: it works!) I will hopefully get there soon. For now I will just write down all the steps I took to get this far. First off, OpenLayers 3 is currently in Beta. It’s starting…
FOSS4G 2013
This week marks the start of another FOSS4G. Slight change from last few years (or, since the first FOSS4G in 2006) I will be present as well. I’m going to try to create a few posts while being there, on the main topics I will be visiting (OpenLayers 3, Geoserver & GIS on Mobile devices)…
Little Updates
Just a little update, as I haven’t spent that much time on coding lately. Some usefull software packages were released lately: OpenLayers 2.13(.1) NetTopologySuite 1.13.1 (now referencing GeoAPI 1.7.1, Woohoo!) Geoserver 2.4 beta1 SharpMap 1.0 (on NuGet!) All fine products I would like to recommend to all GIS developers. I’m especially pleased with the NTS…
Creating a SharpMap WMS Server using .NET MVC4 Razor
Lately I’ve been playing with the idea of creating a lightweight method of displaying geospatial data. I’m currently working on a project using NHibernate Spatial, .NET MVC4 and Sql Server 2012.stock-map
As our deployment will initially be without a full server install (no dedicated server) I can’t depend on a GeoServer installation what I would normally do. So I went to my best buddy Google and found a WMS implementation built in SharpMap which is nearing its 1.0 release. (Currently RC2)
NHibernate Spatial for NHibernate 3.x
Some of you may have heard of NHibernate, some of you may not. I have been using it for about a year now at my work and it’s a really nice ORM to use. It’s especially easy to use with FluentHibernate as one can configure it from code. My friend and colleague Jaco Adriaansen wrote…
