This class is a must for ArcPad power users and Mobile GIS administrators wanting to maximize the success of their Mobile GIS projects by harnessing the customization capabilities of ArcPad 8. Day 1 introduces the fundamentals of ArcPad office to field round trip workflows using the ArcPad Data Manager extension for ArcGIS. You will learn how to use ArcPad Studio and other tools to create custom toolbars, data entry forms and task lists, tailored to your specific projects and workflows. Day 2 is focused on customizing ArcPad more extensively using scripting and the ArcPad object model. You will create applets and custom tools to automate common tasks and validate user input. At the conclusion of the class, students will have experience building a complete custom ArcPad application. PAGIS January Meeting 01/19/2010
When: January 22, 2010 - 10:00 to 11:30 AM Where: David Evans & Associates 2100 RIVER PKWY Portland, OR Parking Options: DEA Parking Lot (use entry code #2010*) Street spots marked 'DEA Client Parking' Nearby surface parking (90 minute maximum) City Center Parking at 309 SW Montgomery ($$) Travel to the site using MAX (street car line) Presenter: Eric Sack, Technology Associates Topic: Best Practices for Publishing Geoprocessing Tools in a distributed environment, Tips and TricksTechnology Associates developed a sophisticated geoprocessing application using Python and ModelBuilder that is published to ArcGIS Server, to perform geospatial analysis on over 100 data layers that ask questions such as: · What environmental layers intersects the project area within specified buffer distances? · How far features are from work sites? · What are the temporary or permanent impacts in acres for each site? · What is the elevation and centroid coordinates (in 8 different systems) for each worksite? · Reports on frequency of occurrence for RT&E species and closest occurrence. An Environmental Screening Report is generated from geoprocessing results using an XML Reader to render results. As part of the geoprocessing task, Technology Associates developed a separate model used for refreshing the FGDB schema. This minimizes application down-time during data refreshes, cuts hand-on pre-processing time and primes the GIS data for optimized geoprocessing speed. Oregon Academy of Sciences 01/15/2010
Dear Geography Colleague: The Annual Meeting of the Oregon Academy of Science (OAS) will be held Saturday, February 27, 2010 at Concordia University in Portland. Presentations will begin about 8:00 AM and will end about 4 PM (depending on the number of papers submitted). A mid-morning coffee break and lunch (from about noon to 2:00) provide opportunities to make new Geography acquaintances and renew old friendships. This is an invitation for you to attend and/or participate. For some years now, the Geography Section has been among the leaders in the Academy in terms of numbers of attendees and presenters. Most importantly, the quality of papers has been high, providing strong testimony to the vitality of Geography in Oregon. Your submission will help insure that Geography stays strong in Oregon. Presentations on any topics of geographic interest are welcome and may be made as orally-delivered papers or posters. Or, if you do not wish to present, you are welcome to attend, learn what your colleagues are doing, and participate in discussions. This meeting, the Geography Section of the OAS is soliciting papers for a Special Session on Urban Agriculture. The local production of food is an emerging focus across the social and physical sciences, in government and in the popular media, and research must necessarily draw from diverse perspectives and approaches. This Special Session will provide an opportunity to foster a dialogue across academic disciplines. With this in mind, submissions are not restricted to just those that identify themselves as "geographers." Abstracts are due to *Joe Poracsky poracskyj@pdx.edu or Hunter Shobe hshobe@pdx.edu by February 5, 2010*. Monday April 19, 2010 the Washington chapter of URISA (Urban and Regional Information Systems Association) will be holding a series of half-day workshops on both Open Source GIS & ArcGIS. The conference is being held in Tacoma, Washington.
