Hello, internet.<\/p>\n
Are you doing mapping work with marvelous newfangled technology? Cartographic Perspectives<\/a> (CP),<\/em> the journal of NACIS<\/a>, wants you! I am seeking how-to articles for a new regular section called On the Horizon, wherein cartographers can learn from one another about a variety innovative, new, or just plain useful implementations of current mapping technologies.<\/p>\n You’ve probably noticed that it’s hard to keep up with latest and greatest ways to do things like web and mobile mapping, even if that’s your line of work. Self-contained tutorials and examples of solid cartography with new technologies can be scattered and hard to track down, and everything looks intimidating to a non-developer. Let’s help CP<\/em> establish a reliable, cartography-oriented repository of useful and accessible tutorial articles.<\/p>\n The scope is fairly wide here. It needn’t be something on the bleeding edge. Recent issues have contained tutorials on choropleth mapping<\/a> with Google Maps, event animation<\/a> with Google Maps, programming panning and zooming<\/a> in ActionScript, and building mapping apps<\/a> for the iPhone (if these links don’t work, try copying and pasting the URLs). There’s a big world out there of code libraries, techniques, and so on; if you can contribute your expertise in any of this to the cartography community, please do!<\/p>\n Any students out there? This is a good way to help get your name out there among a great community of cartography people. CP<\/em> and NACIS represent a good mix of academic and practicing map people\u2014a group that any cartography student will enjoy and benefit from knowing. Non-students, get in on this too! You can learn from CP<\/em>, and we can all learn from you.<\/p>\n If you have something to submit or are interested in writing something, or if you have questions, I’d love to hear from you. Find me at andy@axismaps.com<\/strong>, in a comment here, by beating down my door, or however you wish. Let’s keep this digital cartography party going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, internet. Are you doing mapping work with marvelous newfangled technology?
