November Meetup: (Geo)Spatial Programming

[Brian Turnbull]

Join us at 7pm on Monday, November 15th at the NH-ICC building for the
regular monthly meetup of NHRuby. This month, we have New Hampshire’s
newest resident rubyist, Peter Jackson, presenting “Introduction to
(Geo)Spatial Programming”.

Location-based applications are everywhere, yet most modern Rubyists
haven’t ventured far beyond superimposing a few locations on a Google
Map. In this talk, the Rubyist will learn about the many spatial
programming possibilities within the Ruby landscape, including non-
location-based applications, geographic applications using custom
imagery, answering difficult questions using spatial queries, Moving
Beyond the Dot-On-The-Map, and how to get started with Geospatial
Programming today.
