Abstract

Programming for Modernization: Applications of Python and JavaScript
Track: Web and Server
Authors: Kendell Joseph, Jenn Sylvester

The presentation outlines the process of creating modern transportation maps using Python and JavaScript. It provides a detailed explanation of the process of creating mapping scripts and implementing them. Python scripting is used to create base layers in ArcGIS to be manipulated in Photoshop. JavaScript is then used to automate the style and appearance of the map layers. Complete details for creating your scripts and how to use them will be explained in depth. The goal is to provide users with the basic information they need to begin their map automation or to bring new life into legacy maps. This presentation is useful for anyone who is interested in updating older maps or bringing life into new ones.
