Building Effective Web Maps (Hands-On)
ESRI staff
Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: Sheraton Dover Hotel, Siena
Room
This seminar will focus on simple workflows and approaches to make your authoritative geographic data come to life as high-performing map services. We will highlight best practices for designing and publishing map services that will be shared on the Web. You will then build fast and effective Web GIS deployments to publish your information for a wide range of audiences.
This introductory-level workshop is designed for GIS professionals who are new to Web development and want to take the first steps in sharing their data over the Internet. You will take a hands-on approach, giving you the opportunity to use ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Server to create and publish Web maps. We will also spotlight the ArcGIS API for JavaScript to produce attractive and interactive mapping applications.
Topics covered in this half-day workshop will include:
· Designing effective map documents for the Web environment
· Learning techniques to optimize your map content
· Building cached map images to enhance performance
· Publishing Web services using ArcGIS Server technology
· Leveraging ArcGIS Online services to enhance your Web maps

Introduction to Delaware LiDAR data with the Quick Terrain Modeler
(Hands-On)
Applied Imagery staff
Time: 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Location: Sheraton Dover Hotel, Venetian Room
This session's focus is to work with Applied Imagery's Quick Terrain Modeler software to begin exploiting Delaware LiDAR data in a hands-on, interactive environment.
- What is LiDAR
- LiDAR Basics
- Quick Terrain Modeler Basics
- Visualization of LiDAR
- Inspection, Editing, & Clean-up (Point Cloud and Interpolated Surfaces)
- Data Fusion (Orthos, Vector Data, etc)
- Data Analysis (Line of Sight, Flood Simulation, QC, AGL, Slope, Contours, etc)
- Data Integration & Export
Requirements: Please bring your own laptop to the training with the Quick Terrain Modeler software installed. The 14 day trial can be downloaded prior to the session from www.appliedimagery.com.
Recommendations: Please bring an external mouse as this will greatly assist in navigating your 3D data. Sample Delaware LiDAR data will be distributed via DVD and/or USB drives so please make sure your machine has the proper drive or port available.
ArcGIS Mobile Deployment Strategies (Presentation only)
ESRI staff
Time: 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Location: Sheraton Dover Hotel, Siena Room
Mobile GIS enterprise technology enables workers in the field to be more productive, improve business operations, and communicate effectively. Getting critical data from the field and back into the enterprise, finding the right device, and providing targeted application that is specific to tasks performed in the field are just some of the challenges unique to mobile GIS. To support your field workers' needs, ESRI provides a suite of mobile solutions that includes ArcGIS Mobile/ArcGIS Server. This session will discuss the creation of both customized and out-of-the box GIS-enabled applications for mobile clients, as well as other considerations when pursuing a mobile solution (such as hardware selection).
