GIS and Remote Sensing Tools, Tips and more ..

I was looking for GeoExt's tree example for my project, and I found official tutorials are kind of hard to understand for the GeoExt   beginners. On Googleing through  the internet, I found nice and easy way of creating tree  structure menu using GeoExt BaseLayer and Overlay layer tree.

  Mark Turgeon , a graduate student studying GIS at California State University is studying and analyzing regional pizza preferences, styles and identity as his MS thesis. To collect anonymous data about the regional pizza preferences he built up a nice survey website, geographyofpizza.com . He classified pizzas by: Style Crust Cheese Sauce    Toppings Sold by Slices Cut Oven Check it out and help him in collecting data or know about pizza more. http://www.geographyofpizza.com/

Python Scripting for ArcGIS is a new text from Esri Press by Paul A. Zandbergen (2013). It isn’t the first Python book for the geospatial community or even focused on ArcGIS, but it is the first that has the Esri logo on it. Much like other recent books on Geo/Python we have seen, it focuses on integrating an introduction to Python with the industry specific materials. As Frank mentioned when he highlighted the book in a previous podcast, this allows users to gain exposure to Python, but it doesn’t fall back on the (in my opinion) bad habit of most programming texts of spending half of the book on the language and concepts before even getting to the application in the specific area. There is a time and place for that approach in Python specific books. When you add another software library to a book, then use it from the get go.
