A number of new Google Maps courses and an ArcObjects .NET course have been added to our Geospatial Training Services page. The courses are as follows:
Advanced Google Maps API Programming Building on the concepts learned in the Introduction to the Google Maps API course, this course covers advanced concepts and techniques for the
Maps API. This course covers a lot of ground, starting
with the Google Maps Utility classes. Utility classes are special
purposes objects including MarkerManager for managing large numbers of
markers efficiently. MarkerClusterer also helps manage large
concentrations of markers by aggregating neighboring markers into a
single marker typically labeled with the number of markers represented
by the symbol. Other utility classes that are covered include
ProgressBar for displaying progress information of long running
functions, ExtInfoWindow for custom info windows, and many others. One
of the more important and interesting topics in this class is the
creation of your own custom data layers that can be draped on top of
Google Maps. You'll also learn how to determine your users current
location through GPS or IP Address. Furthermore, the course explores some
advanced geocoding techniques, learn how to read JSON format data
files, examine performance considerations for your application, preview
the new Google Maps 3, and wrap up with an overview of the Google Maps
Data API and tips and tricks.

Building Rich Google Maps User Interfaces with DojoThis course was designed as a supplement to the Introduction to the Google Maps API and Advanced Google Maps API Programming courses. Dojo is an excellent JavaScript framework for creating rich
Internet applications. Dojo is composed of three projects including
Dojo Base and Core, Dijits, and DojoX. Many web application developers
choose Dojo because of the rich user interface controls provided by
Dijit and DojoX. However, Dojo is much more than a JavaScript user
interface toolkit. Dojo handles browser normalization, fixes browser
compatibilities, DOM querying, remote scripting, drag and drop, data
store API, localization and internationalization, cookie handling,
accessibility, and more. One of the most common requirements of a
Google Maps application is to plot points of interest (markers) on a
map. In this course you will learn how to use the Dojo Data API to read
point data from XML, JSON, and CSV format data files and plot them on a
Google Map. And of course the wonderful user interface
controls provided by Dijit and DojoX will not be neglected. The course also looks at form and
layout controls, Tree, DataGrid, charting, and image display controls.

Debugging Google Maps Applications with Firefox and FirebugThis course was designed as a supplement to the Introduction to the Google Maps API and Advanced Google Maps API Programming
courses. The Google Maps API contains a handy debugging window that you
can use to display messages and errors. However, there are times when
you will need a more robust debugging tool. In this module you will
learn how to use Firebug with Firefox to debug and optimize your web
applications. Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web
development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit,
debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
Firebug contains a great debugger for examining your JavaScript code.
With the debugger you can pause code execution through breakpoints,
examine variable contents at the breakpoint, continue code execution,
step into a JavaScript function one line at a time, and step over and
step out of code blocks. The debugging toolbar is accessed through the
Script tab and is activated after you have set a breakpoint in your
code and execution reaches the breakpoint. This debugging toolbar is a
revelation for long time web application developers and makes your
development efforts much more efficient. Download for US$45.00 CD-ROM for US$55.00
Programming ArcObjects with .NETThis
new course teaches you how to program ArcObjects using Microsoft .NET.
Modules cover introductions to .NET, Visual Studio, VB.NET, C#,
extending ArcGIS Desktop fundamentals, custom ArcGIS extension,
building geo-processing tools, extending the editor and Geodatabase,
and introductions to .NET programming of the ArcGIS Engine and Server. Full instructor-led Internet course for US$567.00
