GIS for Web developers :Book Review



Since smartphone arrived, GIS app development and GIS web development are become lucrative jobs. GIS application development is not limited with a particular domain, often people lost in the wilderness of GIS if they don’t have multidisciplinary concepts on computer programming, geography, spatial statistics, database and so forth. It is really important to get crisp knowledge while GIS application development.


GIS for Web Developers introduces Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in simple terms and demonstrates hands-on uses. With this book, you'll explore popular websites like maps.google.com, see the technologies they use, and learn how to create your own. Written with the usual Pragmatic Bookshelf humor and real-world experience, GIS for Web Developers makes geographic programming concepts accessible to the common developer.

I really enjoyed the book “GIS for Web Developers addingwhere to your web applications”, it introduces the all concepts mentioned above in very succinct and understandable way. In addition, it has nice combination of real world web application examples and the open source tools available for the GIS developers.


So don’t get behind put a new copy of book in your shelf.

Prevent WPF Global Keyboard Hook from stops working after hitting keys a while C# .NET

The article written by Dylan Currier,  Low Level Global Keyboard Hook / Sink in C# .NE T is one the simple, easily understandable, and and working post on Global Keyboard hook out there in internet. It worked in my WPF application and I added following line in the WPF app to refresh hook after each key press- IDK  if it is write or wrong, more likely to be a wrong practice to hook/unhook every time but it gets the job done. The primary reason to refresh hook is to prevent app hanging (not responding to the key press) after few clicks on the WPF button. void _listener_OnKeyPressed(object sender, KeyPressedArgs e)         {                       _listener.UnHookKeyboard();           _listener.HookKeyboard();         } Following is the video from  Dylan Currier   on  Low Level Keyboard Hook in C# / .NET"

Generate ArcGIS Token By URL Request From ArcGIS Portal, Federated Environment , ESRI JS API and Angular snippets

In my custom angular web application, I had to pull the data from different ArcGIS server environments, say Dev ArcGIS server and Test ArcGIS server environment, some of my items are directly referred from ArcGIS server services and some of them are from Enterprise portal referring the WebMapId and PortalId from both environment (Dev, Test). Servers are in federated environment. To pull the data from different ArcGIS server environment, user must login in each environment. In addition, user must login to get inside the custom application and Enterprise AD Group was set to authenticate users on the custom web application and ArcGIS server environments. So, there will be 3 login attempts (1 –application itself, 2- Dev server/portal, 3- Test server/portal) to use the application, which doesn’t provide good user experience. To improve the better application workflow, I decided to reduce the number of logins required in the application and use AD Username and Password captured du...
