The key focus of our session this afternoon was taking everyone through a comprehensive overview of the options available for leveraging the power of ArcGIS for Server at 10.1 using Esri’s web APIs.
Kai and I talked through the possibilities of what could be achieved using the ArcGIS Online applications and configurable viewers, and how and when to start extending their appearance and functionality using code.
In a nut shell, if you want to distribute across your organisation, you can achieve a lot with the out of box viewers. They can be quickly configured and deployed, and are released with an ever increasing amount of functionality.
For developers – your role is to take these applications from ‘generic’ to ‘specific’ – or go in alone and create some killer apps from scratch (using the Web APIs of course!).
