Inaugural ESRI Developer Summit Opens Doors to the GIS, Mapping, and Spatial World.REDLANDS, Calif. -- There is a growing expectation for developers to have ready access to spatial data Data that is represented as 2D or 3D images. A geographic information system (GIS) is one of the primary applications of spatial data (land maps). See spatial analysis, spatial resolution and GIS glossary. and geographic content, regardless of the types of applications they work with or the industry they work in. ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., Redlands, CA, www.esri.com) The world's leading developer of geographic information systems (GIS) software, including programs that plot ZIP codes and addresses, demographic information and detailed, color-coded data. answers this need with the 2006 ESRI Developer Summit, which will be held on March 17-18, 2006, at the Palm Springs Convention Center The Palm Springs Convention Center is a 160,000 square foot facility located in downtown Palm Springs, California. It can accommodate groups from 12 to 9,000 in size, depending on the configuration. in Palm Springs, Calif. This two-day event is for developers, software architects, and decision makers interested in building geographic information system geographic information system (GIS) Computerized system that relates and displays data collected from a geographic entity in the form of a map. The ability of GIS to overlay existing data with new information and display it in colour on a computer screen is used primarily to (GIS) applications. ArcGIS provides a platform that is distributed, networked, interoperable, and open for Internet protocols Refers to all the standards that keep the Internet running. The foundation protocol is TCP/IP, which provides the basic communications mechanism as well as ways to copy files (FTP) and send e-mail (SMTP). . This event will focus on using this technology to develop custom applications or embed functionality into existing applications. Experienced and new developers will gain an understanding of the value of spatially enabling an application by enhancing their GIS development skills, meeting face-to-face with industry leaders and ESRI developers, networking with other GIS software This is a list of notable GIS software applications.
