DevSummit 2020 - Learn what you missed in the Plenary and stay tuned for all technical sessions and workshops as either recorded sessions, live webinars or MOOCs.

COVID-19 and regulations being put in place to slow the spread have affected all of us in many ways. There is potential for data science in conjunction with spatial analysis to inform decision-makers during this pandemic through broadly disseminated data—especially data that has protected or geomasked the PHI for HIPAA alignment. In the hope to promote additional data sharing that needs to take place, we at GISinc are offering free six-month trial licenses of a tool that can help: MapMasq.  

In the wake of the current COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, leaders and citizens across the globe want visualization and regular updates on the current spread, trends, and advisories. Leveraging Esri’s Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS allows them to leverage data streams to dynamically update their view and enable real-time decision making.  

GISinc’s innovation partner, GISIP, will attend this year’s HIMSS Conference in Orlando, FL  March 9th – 13th. GISiP will share booth space with GISinc employees with business partner Esri in Booth 1246.  

After attending a workshop last week, I thought it'd be worthwhile to share just what content was being covered. If you find you'd benefit from learning more in one of these areas, consider attending a workshop for yourself as a warm-up for the Esri UC this year. 

Esri has published an ArcGIS 10.8 Quick Start Guide on their website, but GISinc wanted to give you or list of the 8 coolest things to know regarding the new version.  Top 8 ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 enhancements:

I mean, what a year 2019 has been! GISinc provided awesome thought leadership in the form of webinars that you may have missed. Take a look!

Each Cityworks UC provides an excellent opportunity to connect with other users and learn what Cityworks has planned for the direction of the platform - this year’s conference was no different. 

Last Thursday GISinc and partner SSP Innovations hosted a webinar called, “Water Utility Network Migrations and Beyond with SSP Sync.” During the webinar, GISinc discussed reasons to move to the Esri Utility Network, the process for Water Utility Migrations using SSP Sync, and things to consider before getting started. Below are fourteen questions submitted during the webinar.

Last week GISinc hosted “Esri’s ArcGIS Enterprise – Hosted and Managed Cloud Strategies” webinar. There were some great questions submitted during the broadcast that we'd like to share.

What is GIS? GIS is an acronym for Geographic Information Systems. But to understand, we need to know GIS isn’t just a map. GIS solves problems geospatially.

Hear first hand from GISinc Technical Architect, Steve Mulberry recap what happened at the 2019 Esri Developer Summit in Palm Springs, CA.

During the webinar, "Emerging Technologies for Smart, Resilient Installations and Facilities," GISinc's Steve Mulberry rounded out the training with a direct prescription for getting started. "You need to ask the right questions," said Mulberry. Read the complete recommendation list in this blog.

Building once and running everywhere is always a good practice. In a great Esri session today, the presenters went over all of the languages that Esri Runtime supports for cross-platform development. Read on for information on ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt, Unit Testing for Esri Developers, Web AppBuilder Widgets, and more!

Real-Time and Big Data GIS: Best Practices. Follow the Esri docs, it's all listed here: GeoEvent: http://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/geoevent/latest/install/windows/system-requirements.htm and Spatiotemporal Big Datastore: http://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/latest/windows/arcgis-data-store-system-requirements.htm

One of the things that has been highlighted here at the Dev Summit this year is the exponential growth of Python throughout the entire ArcGIS environment. From underpinning the geoprocessing tools of the ArcGIS suite to managing ArcGIS Enterprise and Portal, Python is everywhere these days.

Live from Esri's DevSummit 2019 - GISinc's Kyle Einsphar! Hear a recap of Esri's session on AWS AppSync and more in the VLOG below!

Glenn started the Esri DevSummit Keynote asking the question "Is Software Engineering Really Engineering?" He dove into the debate between traditional Engineers, how they define their industry and what they do to establish credibility as Engineers.

Read GISinc Developer Calvin's takeaways from the Esri Developer Summit 2019!

During the second day of the Esri Developer’s Summit, the session on Progressive Web Apps focused on responsive apps. Speakers presented some great tips such as using service workers for control and caching, to creating an app shell, all the way to detailing out lazy loading on all components that can be loaded that way.
