Oakland County Launches Golf and Trails

Today Oakland County launched Golf and Trails, or GAT, their first ArcGIS Server Web Application based on the JavaScript API. Over the past 2 years I, as a consultant via Technology Aces, have been part of a team of developers working on a very large GIS web application. So large and so complex that its first public appearance is as the underlying framework that powers GAT. I am happy to say that one of my projects with Oakland County finally released to the public, even if it is a “light” version.

Dojo and ASP.NET AJAX Compatibility

Poor DOM manipulation in Dojo

In jQuery DOM manipulation is incredibly easy: $("#dealer-toggle").toggle(); .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000;...
