GeoWeb 101 – An Overview of GeoWeb - the What, Why & Where of GeoWeb - Part A
Ron Lake, Carl Reed, & Michael Gerlek
Do you have a clear understanding of the GeoWeb? Do you know where it is headed? Can you see business opportunities? Do you see it impacting the delivery of government services? What is the GeoWeb anyway? Is it more than Virtual Globes? What standards and technologies does GeoWeb include ? How does BIM fit in? What is the connection between SDI and the GeoWeb? What is new about neogeography? Everything to always wanted to know about the GeoWeb but were afraid to ask, GeoWeb 101 is the perfect introduction to GeoWeb 2009 - Cityscapes. The course will be taught by leading experts in the field, including Ron Lake (Galdos), Carl Reed (OGC) and Michael Gerlek ( Lizardtech).
Working with the ESRI Flex API’s for advanced Map RIA’s

Duane Nickull & James Ward, Adobe

Haven’t coded in a while? This session is a boot camp for GeoSpatial RIA creation using ESRI’s Flex API’s and Adobe Flex Builder. Attendees will build between 7 and 15 applications and keep all the code on their own computers to work with later. No experience necessary.
Protection of Geo-spatial Data and Services with GeoXACML Policies
Andreas Matheus, Martin Kyle
Many different types of high quality and up-to-date geospatial information are available from different providers. Making the information available to users requires the implementation of many security requirements of which Access Control is paramount. This workshop introduces GeoXACML, a Policy Language standardized by the Open Geospatial Consortium and provide practical hands-on sessions how to declare access rights to protect geospatial information. Examples will be given how to protect access to the OGC WMS and WFS. [NOTE: Attendees should bring a notebook PC.]
Virtual Earth and SQL Spatial for Data Visualization and Analysis
Geoff Innis, Microsoft
By combining the data, imagery and tool set of the Virtual Earth Map Control with the spatial analysis capabilities of SQL Server 2008, we are able to develop powerful location-based solutions. This workshop will take a deep-dive into the creation of an application which leverages the Virtual Earth JavaScript Map Control along with a spatially enabled SQL Server 2008 database, via a .NET Web Application, to provide real business intelligence insight.

Building Rich Internet Applications using Flex and ArcGIS API
Mansour Raad
This workshop with start with an introduction to Adobe Flex’s framework to build Rich Internet Application for the Flash platform. Then we will dive into the usage Flex API with ArcGIS Server. We will show how to create map mashups based on dynamic, tiled and graphic layers. We will invoke complex server side geo processing tasks, and we will finish the workshop with an implementation of a collaborative mapping solution.
Building a Modern Mapping/GIS Stack with No Software Costs

Steven Citron-Poust, ICF/Jones & Stokes & Paul Ramsey, OpenGeo
You have seen all those cool mapping application, both on the desktop and on the web, and want to make some of your own nifty mapping applications. This workshop will give you all the tools you need to build a complete GIS/Web mapping stack using a selection of free and open source tools. We will take shapefiles and put them in PostGIS. With this as the base we will use open source GIS desktop tools, GeoServer , WorldWindJava, Google Earth and OpenLayers, as viewers.
