Our seminar series this spring is focusing on developing applications that use, analyze, and present geospatial data. Our series continues on April 8 when Steve Andrews will present "Visualizing Geography in SQL Server 2008. In Steve's first presentation he will describe and demo how he used the new Geography type in his latest DevEvents project. From his blog::
"This is just too cool not to post. Many of you know about the DevEvents project I'm working on. If not, feel free to ping me. Part of the web application involves geo-context. Basically events are displayed to users (by default) based on their proximity to the event locations. To accomplish this I have several tables in the database with various geography related data. One of these tables takes advantage of the new SQL Server 2008 data type: Geography. This field essentially stores latitude and longitude, and SQL Server 2008 is then able to provide geography-related queries against it, like distance between two points.
But the really cool part for me so far is when you select data that contains the Geography data type. Along with the standard Results and Messages pane, there is a new 'Spatial results' pane. Clicking on this tab reveals a map-like visualization."
Steve's second presentation will focus on "Building Outlook 2007 Add-Ins Using VSTO SE"
Everyone has Outlook on their desktop; come learn how you can get more value out of this productivity tool. We'll look at how to build Outlook 2008 add-ins using the Outlook object model, Visual Studio Tools for Office Second Edition, and C#.
