Welcome to GeoSpat!

This is my first attempt at blogging. I hope this won't be my only entry! This blog will discuss my work with Geospatial Technologies/Internet Mapping and everything that goes along for the ride.


I'm currently working on several Geospatial Web Applications:

• A Google Maps/.NET site to gather public feedback regarding public transportation options
• An ArcGIS Server/ESRI JavaScript API & Virtual Earth County Assessor's Parcel Viewer
• A PostGreSQL/GeoServer/OpenLayers Portfolio Tracking application

In the last year, I've had the opportunity to work on some cool projects, including the GeoEye GeoFUSE Search and Discovery Tool. This stack included SQL Server '05/ArcSDE/ArcGIS Server 9.3, the ESRI Google Maps Extensions and the Google Maps API.

One of my job responsibilities is to 'poke around' with new technologies and keep track of what is 'out there'. I've spent time poking around with:

• Deep Earth Silverlight Control
• SQL Server 2008 connection to GeoServer
• Using the native SQL Server 2008 Geometry Type with ArcSDE
• SMS Text (DOTGO) -> .JPG -> Virtual Earth 3D Billboard
• Creating .NET Web Handlers as REST endpoints for custom spatial data entry
  
• Using SQL Server 2008's XML capabilities to transform queried GML with XSLT
