After 6 months of military service, I’m back to my normal life. Especially I came back a month ago, but it takes time to get used to normal life 🙂
Anyway, military service was a big burden on my shoulders and now it is over. What about the future plans?
For now I’m planning a trip to USA for a job interview and I may change my continent within next months.
I also started to refresh my brain to get new version of Ext JS to improve ExtMap. Yes, you read correctly, I’ll continue to develop ExtMap, but this time, I will try a different way. Â During my military service period, I saw some geo web applications which partially/completely uses ExtMap Framework, but they deleted credits part and sold it to their customers. I can’t understand why people are doing such things. I don’t want any money from them, just credits page. Â Anyway, I’m working on that problem.
I have also plans to work on Google App Engine both for the web and geoweb, but I need time to understand the new approach to write applications on No-SQL platform. This approach may shape the scalibility of future web applications.
As a result, I’ll make a fresh start in my life and this gonna be awe…. (wait for it)….someeeeee 😀

I have been working on ExtMap (previously known as Summit ExtMap) versions and its website. Today I ‘m proud of announcing the three versions of ExtMap and its website. As it is stated, I changed the name of project from Summit ExtMap to ExtMap and the versions are as follows:
- ExtMap JS (ExtJS, Google Maps API and ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for the Google Maps API)
- ExtMap REST (ExtJS, Google Maps API and ArcGIS Server REST API)
- ExtMap OL (ExtJS and OpenLayers)
JS ve REST versions are mostly the same as Summit ExtMap, but OL version has some missing features which will be done soon. The website of ExtMap is also available as
http://www.geowebdeveloper.com/extmap
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or suggestions related to ExtMap.
Good news for Ext Fans, according to post on Ext JS Blog :
As we approach the three year anniversary of the initial release of Ext, the Ext Team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Ext Core 3.0 beta for download. Ext Core provides a cross-browser consistent API for performing the most common tasks in JavaScript development for web pages. Ext Core is released under a permissive MIT license – there is no cost to use Ext Core – it’s free for everyone.
Ext is mainly focused on desktop like applications on web and its file size is bigger than other libraries, but this file size has various advantages to make an desktop like application. My example for this kind of application is the “Summit ExtMap“. “Summit ExtMap” is a primitive web version of ArcView. If you want to make much more simple application with Ext, it was very hard but now it is very easy with the help of Ext Core.
I’ getting a fan boy of Ext JS day by day 🙂
Alper.
