Plan and Manage, A Centralized Communication Tool

November 14, 2016/ Brian Smith

Your phone buzzes, and a text message tells you that you have assets in danger from a pending threat.

JavaScript Frameworks for the Geospatial Web - Change is Here, Part Four

May 24, 2016/ Naveed Sami

My previous blog provided an introduction to the current state of JavaScript Frameworks. The geospatial world adds a series of factors to consider while evaluating use of any particular Framework. Because of ESRI’s dominant position in the world of GIS, its technology choices must be taken into consideration. The ESRI framework for web mapping, ArcGIS API for JavaScript, makes heavy use of Dojo Toolkit - ESRI explains why here. There are no plans to re-write the JavaScript API to replace Dojo with another toolkit or framework. A wonderful presentation of ESRI’s use of other frameworks, in conjunction with Dojo, and viewpoints related to JavaScript Frameworks within the geospatial context was presented by David Bouwman and Mike Juniper at the 2015 ESRI Developer’s Summit (available here).
