Speaking at SDForum next week

Dec 1, 2006 by Andre
I will be presenting "Ruby and Google Maps" at this month's SDForum Ruby SIG, which is next Thursday (Dec 7th). If you're in the area, I'd love to see you there!

I plan on making this a pretty interactive session. I've got three broad topics, and we'll spend time on whatever you think is most interesting. The topics are:
  • ImageMagick and geographic data: creating custom Google Map overlays with RMagick
  • Google Maps controls: creating a better (or at least different) zoom control
  • Demystifying the geocoder: you, too, can create a geocoder from scratch
Some of the material will be from my upcoming book with Apress, Beginning Google Maps Applications with Rails and Ajax

Hope to see you there!

Hi Andre

I was at your talk at Google last night and very much enjoyed it. I was particularly interested in how you parsed the Tiger Line data as well as the overlay images you were creating with ImageMagick. I will look forward to reading your book.
