From Mike Miller:
I just released a new course called “Introduction to Web Programming for GIS Applications” on Udemy. I would like to offer the members of SoCalGIS 50% off ($50 for 96 lectures covering 13 hours) using the following link.
https://www.udemy.com/introduction-to-web-programming-for-gis-applications/?couponCode=SOCALGIS
The course covers the basic of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, PHP, Leaflet, and PostGIS with an emphasis on the parts important for GIS Applications. Although I use examples from Open Source software for practical reasons, Most of the material is applicable to web mapping on commercial platforms as well.
This course is intended to be the fouindation for further courses I am developing on Client side GIS applications, Server side GIS applications, and Mobile application development.
Non-profits are eligible for further discounts. Just email me at lstomsl@gmail.com and tell me how you use GIS to make the world a better place.
Thanks,

Need the ability to visualize a flow of things on a map? A new library for the ArcGIS JavaScript API called the Canvas Flowmap Layer allows you to map the flow of objects from an origin point to a destination point using Bezier curves. The directionality of the flow can be visualized as moving dots too. Check it out!
Greetings from the University of Kentucky Department of Geography!
Are you interested in web mapping? Check out the online Graduate Certificate in Digital Mapping program at the University of Kentucky – we can help take your GIS career to the next level. While there are a full range of courses, we recommend experienced GIS professionals begin with MAP 672 – Programming for Web Mapping.
In addition to MAP 672, we will also be offering MAP 671 – Intro to New Mapping (focusing on a desktop GIS workflow for web production) as well as MAP 673 – Design for Interactive Web Mapping. MAP 672 introduces students to JavaScript, HTML and CSS and is perfect for those who have work experience in desktop GIS, but have not yet begun web mapping. If this describes you, please email us so we can review your experience and consider an advanced enrollment. Continue reading
The California Department of Conservation (DOC) unveiled a new geospatial data and map website, DOC Maps, to provide easy access to its collection of GIS managed spatial data. DOC has GIS managed data about geology, seismic hazards, mineral resources, mining, agriculture, land use, oil, gas, and geothermal energy.
Mark your calendars for our next SoCalGIS meeting on April 7th. It will be hosted by Rio Hondo College GIS in Whittier. The meeting time is 10am to 12:30pm and parking info will follow soon, as well as an agenda. Expect a drone demo and demo of data processing tools!
More info soon. Stay tuned!
If you are a community college student in Geography that plans on transferring to California State University Northridge (or you just did), here’s a deal you should not pass up. The Tamborro Scholarship pays all normal university fees to fulltime undergraduate geography majors who will or already have transferred to CSUN from a community college! What a deal!
