An Ordinary Geo Web Developer’s Blog

Today I read the twit of Dave and found the ESRI Mashup Challenge 2010 lists of nominees on Youtube. I watched almost all of the entries and I’m impressed about the evolution of mashups. It is very great to see different kind of APIs as : ESRI APIs, Google Maps APIs, Bing Maps APIs, Facebook API, Twitter API, Youtube API.

Also it is very surprising that Silverlight, a very new technology, is becoming more popular.  Mashups based on Silverlight are more showy than others, but it is still a plugin based technology which I didn’t like these kind of technologies even I have to use it in some of my projects.

And what about my candidate to win. I know there are different aspects of selecting the winner, but I will select the technology side to choose my candidate. It is using Silverlight technology and it has ability to add & edit data. Anyway, my candidate is “GIS Editor - Silverlight API“.

Good luck for all nominees.

PS : There is also a nominee using ExtMap Framework even though they erased my license

Please forgive me about this late post. I want to thanks everyone who voted for me at ESRI Developer Summit Mashup Challenge.  I hope all you like the “Summit ExtMap” mashup framework and use it in your projects.

The reason for this late post is “Summit ExtMap“, because I still working on framework to add some new features. The coming release will be seperated to 3 different versions as

• Summit ExtMap (for ArcGIS JS API Extension for Google Maps)
• Summit ExtMapRest (without ArcGIS JS API, works only with ArcGIS REST API and Google Maps API)
• ExtOL (Ext JS with OpenLayers supporting ArcGIS REST API)

You can choose the version suited for you. Please do not hesitate to ask for questions, new features and bugs.

Alper.
