Carbon Project Announces 2nd Open-Geospatial Development Workshop
Written by GeoLeaders
Tuesday, 07 June 2005
Washington, DC, June 6, 2005 -- The Carbon Project today announced it is providing a second session of its successful training course for professionals and students who want to quickly learn the basics of open-geospatial development.
Fundamentals of Open-Geospatial Development teaches attendees how to use CarbonTools™, a free geospatial development toolkit, to rapidly develop open-geospatial applications and access hundreds of online resources. Based on the Microsoft .NET Framework, CarbonTools™ provides a powerful and extendible API for accessing geospatial web services based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC™) specifications.
“The first Open-Geospatial Development course was excellent!” says Kelly Falter, VP Research and Development, Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “I came into the class as a novice in the area of OGC and left with the ability to develop a fairly functional application in a matter of a few hours. Also, The Carbon Project is ‘The Real Thing’ when it comes to understanding geospatial information. These guys have worked in this area for many years and have invested a lot of resources into providing the OGC community with tools that did not previously exist. I highly recommend this class to anyone (novice through expert) in the field who currently works with or plans to work with geospatial information.”
This session of Fundamentals of Open-Geospatial Development will be held on July 13-14, 2005 and hosted by Intergraph in Reston, Virginia. Topics to be covered include: an introduction to open-geospatial interoperability, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and the CarbonTools source-handler-data™ architecture; hands-on exercises to use Geography Markup Language (GML) and OGC services from Intergraph, IONIC, CubeWerx and others; how to rapidly build an air-traffic control simulation using open-geospatial techniques and many others.
