Abstract

ArcGIS JavaScript Plus Django Equals Dynamic Web App
Track: ArcGIS for Web Developers
Authors: Leslie Morgan

JavaScript has been hailed as the GIS web API of the future. Esri’s JavaScript API allows for rich user interfaces, but adding a web framework enables the development of truly dynamic web applications. This presentation will show how 1519 GIS uses Django to implement user-based authentication and authorization, to facilitate tasks such as exporting attribute tables to CSV, to send automatically generated emails to users, to employ a proxy page to secure services, and to edit PostGIS geometry.
