The Esri Developer Summit will kick off with a series of preconference seminars on topics such as Python and Esri’s web and mobile APIs. These seminars will teach developers with all levels of experience how to take advantage of scripts and tools that increase work quality and efficiency. Esri software experts will lead a variety of technical sessions that cater to every skill level and development platform. Esri staff will be stationed at the Tech Support Island to explain the latest geographic information system (GIS) tools, processes, and techniques you can immediately apply to your everyday work. You’ll have the opportunity to meet one-on-one to gain expert knowledge and receive valuable guidance.
The summit also will include 30 user presentations from GIS developers highlighting their successes. These presentations have been voted on by the geospatial community as the most innovative and interesting topics. The opening Plenary Session on Tuesday will feature many Esri developers talking about how to leverage the full potential of code and development platforms. Bill Clark, research vice president at Gartner Research, will give the Keynote Address on Wednesday, March 9. He will discuss the challenges of mobile development and the future direction of mobile apps and smartphone platforms. His body of research includes mobile software development, context-aware computing, and mobile consumer application platforms.

3–GIS announces contract with MCNC for deployment of Express Solution
3–GIS, an Alabama–based GIS software development company, announced that MCNCsigned a contract to deploy 3–GIS’ Express Solution, a Web–based GIS management solution.
3–GIS was chosen by North Carolina non–profit MCNC from among 11 participants in a competitive RFP process. MCNC is currently working on a $144 million expansion of the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN) scheduled to be completed by 2013. This initiative has been labeled the Golden LEAF Rural Broadband Initiative.
3–GIS’ Express Solution leverages Esri’s ArcGIS Server to seamlessly flow network data between an office administrator utilizing Network Express and field technicians with the mobile Field Express. These highly efficient tools will enable MCNC to address their existing fiber network while adding thousands of miles of new fiber assets to the database.
Express Solution will provide a full view of the MCNC network, which has the potential to serve directly, or through MCNC partnerships with private–sector service providers, more than 1,500 community anchor institutions, 180,000 businesses, and more than 300,000 underserved families once the NCREN expansion is complete.

3-GIS Assists Franklin County Consortium With ‘Alabama Storm Tracker’
3-GIS, a GIS software development and services company is assisting the Franklin County GIS Consortium, consisting of fourteen agencies across Franklin County, by developing the Alabama Storm Tracker URL to review damage assessment data from the April 27 storms that devastated northern Alabama communities.
3-GIS, the developers of the latest technology in GIS mapping information systems, have been assisting the Franklin County Consortium in damage assessment. 3-GIS created the Alabama Storm Tracker URL, a service showing, not only the storm track, but also a fly-over from immediately after the tornado and post storm photos associated with each structure with the storm path. The aerial photography for the damage assessment data was provided by The Atlantic Group, LLC to the GIS Consortium team and then passed over to 3-GIS and uploaded in to the system. Franklin County GIS Manager, Michael Hughes and colleagues will continue to provide technical information from the affected areas that can be updated as needed to insure a comprehensive picture of the ravaged area. 3-GIS’s Alabama Storm Tracker URL is used by local community agencies to identify where they need to concentrate efforts for cleanup, power, water issues, FEMA for quick response, and others in the community to determine how and where to help.

3-GIS Partners with GTI to Develop Android and iPad Application for the Gas Industry
3-GIS, a GIS software development company and Gas Technology Institute (GTI), a research, development and training organization for the natural gas industry and energy markets, have partnered to develop an Android and iPad application for the gas pipeline and distribution industries.
3-GIS, developer of the Express Solution, the latest ArcGIS Server web-based and mobile mapping tool software, is using leading-edge technology to leverage the benefits of electronic data capture – improved data quality, reduced data management costs, enhanced data availability for analysis, and improved regulatory compliance documentation.
Gas corrosion and engineering departments need a consistent and easy way to collect test point readings and facility locations. This field application provides a simple data collection interface using new consumer technologies that are becoming more prevalent in progressive companies’ computing infrastructure. The application will initially assist in field data collection for Cathodic Protection (CP) test point readings and marker ball locations.
