This Week’s Hangout with Dave Bouwmwan

This week’s hangout got switched around. Steve Coast will be next week because he’s apparently shipping a million GPS maps out tomorrow. So stepping up is the big man himself, Dave Bouwman. We’ll be talking about GIS development, technology trends and how they impact location and anything else people come up with on IRC. Generally you need to pay Dave big bucks to pick his brain, but tomorrow all you need is your fingers (hmm, not sure where I’m going with this).

Anyway, we go live an hour earlier than normal (10am PDT) but do you really want to wait all that time to hear Dave talk about his love of Canadian baseball?

Hangouts with James Fee:: Making Developers out of GIS Analysts

Dave Bouwman joined me to talk about GIS developers or developers who know GIS or some combination of that. We hit on the idea of hiring GIS Analysts to become programmers and how Dave approaches that task. We talked about APIs and ended with a weird discussion about Pinterest and Samsung refrigerators. The IRC chat is archived here.
