Applications Without Developers: GeoBC’s Mash-up Wizard (Chris Spicer)

Ever wanted to author applications for the non-GIS savvy without the need of a developer?  How about an online wizard that would mash-up Google Maps with ArcGIS Server tools, Web Services, authoritative data and user uploaded content?  Go no further – the GeoBC Mash-up Wizard is here.  It allows the quick development and deployment of web GIS applications which will stand alone or be imbedded in standard web pages.  Novice users can craft, edit and deploy applications online effortlessly.  Resulting applications won’t have a GIS look and feel, increasing your available user base and user comfort level.

Build on a web services architecture, its framework is modular in design, allowing administrators to add additional tasks, web services and content without the need to re-deploy the framework.  Applications created in the framework are immediately available for consumption by end users.

This seminar will focus on the capabilities, architecture, expandability and of course a demonstration of the framework in action, internet permitting.
