Track: Database Design and Management
Authors: Tobin Lilly

We have an issue. It's a notorious one that has plagued us for multiple years. Causing much head scratching and hair pulling. Friends, we need to interface with our GIS data and observe some marine wildlife from a ship on the Chukchi Sea, without internet access, without opening ESRI products and it all has to be easy user friendly magic. How can we do this? Cool data entry forms, easy data entry, maps? Through the use of the File Geodatabase API, with our cool personalized data entry forms, we gain access to our file geodatabases! This API allows us to develop a personalized experience for our clients, allowing them to venture out onto the sea with their tablet PC collecting spatial and tabular data on whales, sea otters and seals to their hearts content.
