I’ve become a big fan of Leaflet for putting maps on the web. It gives me most of what I need without much of what I don’t and is fairly easily extended, as shown by the impressive work of Jason Sanford. A while back, Dave Bouwman blogged about work he and the team at DTS…

On November 11, 2011, I gave a lightning talk at the ESRI Dev Meetup in Silver Spring, MD. My talk was titled “If I Were Jack For a Day.” Despite the infinite comedic potential of that title, it was a tongue-in-cheek look at some items on my wish list for the ArcGIS platform. An increasing…
So, Which Is It?
Update: I pulled this link out of the comment thread below to emphasize it. It seems to answer this question for now: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/35676-Edit-spatial-data-with-quot-ArcGIS-for-Desktop-10.1-quot-in-non-SDE-RDBMS-systems Since my previous posts about PgMap and the shuttering of zigGIS, the nature of the planned support for connecting directly to spatial databases from ArcGIS 10.1 has gotten somewhat muddier.

GeoServices REST Specification and OGC
So this is what I get for missing the Ignite sessions at WhereCampDC*: Not sure if it has been mentioned, but ESRI announced that they are giving their REST API to OGC at #wherecampdc — spara (@spara) June 16, 2011 *I got to dance with my daughter and help her chase fireflies so I win….
ArcGIS 10 Service Pack 2 Is Available
Esri announced late today that Service Pack 2 for ArcGIS 10 is available. It looks like a fairly sizable list of issues was addressed with this service pack. Who knows, we could be witnessing history as this could potentially be the last service pack to address ArcIMS. (Well, I can dream, can’t I?) Anyway, if…
DynamicLayer Auto-Refresh for ESRI Silverlight API
Despite recent news regarding Silverlight, I expect some of my projects to continue using it for the near term. Others may be taking the same tack, so I thought I’d go ahead and offer this up. Several of the projects I support have the requirement to periodically refresh specific layers in order to track change…
ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1 Deprecation Plan Released
Mike Hogan tweeted that the Esri deprecation plan for ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1 is now available. It can be found here. Much of what it contains is not new as Esri has been pretty good about getting information related to 10.x out. Some of the more interesting things (to me) include (comments in parens are…
Arc2Earth Supports ArcGIS Server Tile Caches
I just got an e-mail announcement from Arc2Earth (disclaimer: my company is a reseller) regarding some updates to version 3 that have come out since the ESRI UC. One of the updates that catches my attention is: ArcGIS Server Tile Cache Format – You can now create or manage tile caches that can be used…
Browsing WeoGeo Market Using the ESRI Silverlight API
Updated: This demo application now running here. I will update this demo periodically, as time permits, so keep checking back. At the 2010 ESRI Federal User Conference, WeoGeo announced the availability of a toolbar for interacting with WeoGeo Market and private libraries from within ArcMap. This, combined with Dan Dye’s series of posts showing how…
First Thoughts on ArcGIS 10.0
The announcement that ArcGIS 9.4 is being re-christened as 10.0 leaves me feeling somewhat bemused. I have seen the new version of Desktop and it is nice and will finally update the current Office-97-feeling UI. The list of changes coming in 10.0 (published so far) is impressive but I haven’t seen any discussion of the…
