Presentation Description: <\/strong>3RWW in Western PA has an extensive 30 gage network to collect precipitation data with a record spanning about 20 years. The 3RWW Rainfall tool was created to provide communities throughout Allegheny County use this data\u2014provided in both real-time and historical formats\u2014to design more cost-effective solutions to reduce or eliminate sewage overflows and improve stormwater management.<\/p>\n

The 3RWW Rainfall tool provides a new API-based framework to query, retrieve and visualize the measurements of both the raw rain gage data and the calibrated rainfall data. The point observation data are extrapolated to 1km x 1km grids for continuous spatial coverage for all of Allegheny County. In this talk, we will go over system design considerations when working with time-series data, specifically rainfall data, on both the server-side and client-side. We will also address use cases for accessing the records for Real-Time Rainfall, Historic Rainfall, and Calibrated Rainfall via temporal and spatial queries.<\/p>\n

We will go over the design and implementation of the data pipelines created to populate the time series databases. The pipelines consist of code and triggers to ingest the 3 data types are they are produced by their systems of record. This tool was designed from the API up. We will talk about making geospatial APIs to support client-side geospatial development. We will cover API documentation and it’s important for advanced data users.<\/p>\n

This talk will demo the tool and give an annotated discussion of the specific technology used in the development of this tool including Heroku, Postgres, Mapbox, and JavaScript.<\/p>\n

Chris Saylor, MS, MCTS,\u00a0<\/b>GIS Applications Developer, JMT Technology Group<\/b><\/p>\n

Presenter Biography:\u00a0<\/b>Mr. Saylor is based out of JMT\u2019s Harrisburg office and brings GIS and full-stack web\/desktop development experience. He specializes in GIS-related development, with years of experience authoring applications that utilize the Esri platform as well as with open-source mapping technologies, such as Leaflet and GeoServer. Chris is also a certified Hyland OnBase API developer.<\/p>\n

Presentation Description: <\/strong>Web applications with a mapping component have become increasingly popular over the years. With that popularity comes a growing number of options a developer has when choosing the client-side mapping API, the technology used to generate map layer image tiles, and the back-end storage of spatial data. This sits on top of the other choices a developer must make when writing any web application, such as client-side frameworks (Angular\/React\/Vue), server-side frameworks (.Net Core\/PHP\/Django), object-relational mapping libraries (Entity Framework\/NHibernate\/Dapper) and choice of the database (SQL Server\/Oracle\/PostGRES). Selecting the correct combination of technologies can be an overwhelming task and the rate at which technology changes can make an application seem obsolete shortly after a release to production.<\/p>\n

In 2016, JMT was tasked with writing a web mapping application for Pennsylvania One Call System, Inc. The purpose of the application is to allow users to create projects that will require digging or excavation. The application enables users to draw project boundaries on the map or import a boundary from an uploaded shapefile. This spatial data is saved to the database along with other non-spatial attributes. JMT recently upgraded the application to a \u201clatest and greatest\u201d technology stack. Additionally, we added a RESTful API that exposes most of the CRUD operations available within the application. This provided a rare opportunity to rewrite the application from the ground up, incorporating best practices and patterns learned over the past few years.<\/p>\n

This presentation will cover some of the pitfalls, pleasant surprises, and other lessons learned while performing the conversion and refactoring of existing code. The upgraded application uses the following technology stack: .Net Core 3.1\/C# (server-side framework), SQL Server, NHibernate (object-relational mapper), Angular 9 (client-side framework), Leaflet (mapping library), Geoserver (map tile creation)<\/p>\n

Jim Lawruk,<\/b> Senior Web Developer, GeoDecisions<\/b><\/p>\n

Presenter Biography:\u00a0<\/strong>Jim Lawruk has worked as a professional software developer since 2002 specializing in .NET\/C# and JavaScript. For the past six years he has worked at GeoDecisions, a geospatial technology solutions firm. He has extensive experience with ESRI’s ArcGIS API for JavaScript including versions 3 and 4. He has been the lead developer on several geospatial related applications at PennDOT. He enjoys running and hiking, so check out his GPS routes on Strava.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Presentation Description: <\/strong>Learn how to collect coordinate data using the lap button from your GPS watch, transform and enhance the data into features, and finally display the results on an ESRI Map.<\/p>\n

First, attendees will learn how to collect coordinates from all the data recorded by a GPS enabled watch. We will cover how to write code to isolate or filter out the coordinates corresponding to the laps. Then we will transform the coordinate data into features contained in a GeoJSON file. We will then create feature layers to be displayed on an ESRI map. We will cover loading the features into the ArcGIS Server as well as creating a JSON graphics layer without a server. Attendees will learn methods to customize the map and layers using various tools available in the ArcGIS JavaScript API.<\/p>\n

Technical Requirements:<\/strong> The course is targeted toward developers or those comfortable reading and editing code. A full set of instructions and source code will be available for review on GitHub. The software used will include the ESRI ArcGIS API for JavaScript and Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code editor. Both are free to use. ESRI’s ArcGIS server will be briefly covered, but is not required to complete the instructions. <\/span><\/p>\n
