ESRI is having another free MOOC on building apps.  This course will show you how to combine location and narrative in one application to better communicate and broadcast your story, create custom web applications that solve problems in your community, and build powerful native applications for iOS and Android devices without touching a piece of code. If you are a developer, you’ll be interested in ESRI’s APIs, SDKs, and the buzzing GeoDev community.

The free course goes on for 4 weeks (July 20 to August 17) and you will receive a certificate of completion and awards.  Check out the syllabus and sign up if you are interested.

Our next stop for California Friday is actually many locations.  July 4th will be here soon and that means Fireworks!  The fireworks app I have used for the past few years has been updated once again.  This year I added Riverside County.  If you love fireworks and want to find out where you can legally buy and shoot them off in SoCal, check out the app!

You can view cities in LA, Orange, Ventura, and Riverside County that allow the sale and discharge of fireworks.  Included are days and times when fireworks will be sold and when you can light them up, as well as links to city web sites and telephone numbers.  Data was collected from municipal codes, web sites, and/or contacting each city.  Enjoy!
