Flat Out Resuscitation
One of my goals this year was to revive my GIS blog, which suffered much neglect over the last year. In fact, I was even scrapped after the Planet Spatial Reboot. After reviewing some of my older posts I decided to start with a clean slate. The posts really didn’t add any value, so I wiped them out and am starting fresh.
I have a pile of ideas for blog topics saved up, but nothing to show as of yet. With a renewed focus on quality content, I’ll be taking a retrospective look over the last year on my experience with:
- ASP.NET/ASP.NET Ajax
- OO JavaScript
- Abandoning ArcGIS Server for Google Maps
- SQL Server 2008
- Open Source GIS (MapGuide, FDO, OpenLayers…)
At the same time, I’ll also be digging into some new territory as I’m starting a new job. While I’m not completely unfamiliar with these items, I’ll definitely be taking more of a deep dive:
- Java web development
- ArcGIS Server 9.3
- Weather GIS
- REST
- WMS/WFS/WCS
It should be quite interesting going from .NET to Java land, and to also be getting back into ArcGIS Server again. Happy reading…
