I am thinking about hosting a Google Hangout to collaboratively learn about it. It will be 4-5pm PST Mondays if it happens. I have the Hangout open right now as a test.

Overview

Server

  • I am working with ArcGIS For Server 10.1
  • I have installed it on a CentOS 6.2 server.
  • I am using an EDN developer license.

To do list

I will probably use the Benton Solar Map as a test project here. Funny since it was just Winter Solstice and it's very dark and rainy today!

  1. Put together a basic web map.
  2. Add a marker layer.
  3. Allow updates to the marker layer.
  4. I know there used to be several options ie Flex vs Javascript. What are the options now?
  5. ESRI suggests that File Geodatabases are good enough for many applications and may even perform better than ArcSDE based geodatabases. COMPARE
  6. Can I do real GIS work on an ArcGIS Server?
    1. For example, can I upload and run models to do geoprocessing jobs? I mean, does it really work?
    2. What about just running Python scripts without invoking the evil Model Builder?
  7. Can I use PostGIS and ArcGIS Server together smoothly? Or are the rough edges just not worth it?
