On February 20, 2014, the British Columbia Chapter of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA BC) hosted a one day seminar entitled:
Web Map and Apps
Date: February 20, 2014
Time: 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
Location: Hilton Vancouver Metrotown 6083 MacKay Avenue, Burnaby, BC
This was a day of discussion and learning about the ever changing environment of web-based mapping. Throughout the years, this technology has become simpler to implement leaving us with lots of important decisions such as:
- Should we create specific apps or one large map?
- Which platform should we design on: Silverlight, Java, HTML5?
- Where is the technology going and how do we plan for the future?
