We’ve had a few discussions on
this and other lists about ways to get into the world of GIS web app
development.  That’s why I’m happy to announce the following upcoming,
free, hands-on MOOC:

Do It Yourself GeoApps

3 Feb – 2 March 2016

Register and find out more here:

Anyone can build apps on the
ArcGIS Platform.

You don’t have to be a software
developer to build valuable geo-enabled apps that make your communities smarter
and businesses more successful. This course will show you how to combine
location and narrative in one application to better communicate and broadcast
your story, create custom web applications that solve problems in your community,
and build powerful native applications for iOS and Android devices without
touching a piece of code. If you are a developer, you’ll be interested in
Esri’s APIs, SDKs, and the buzzing GeoDev community.

About the Author
I believe that spatial thinking can transform education and society through the application of Geographic Information Systems for instruction, research, administration, and policy. I hold 3 degrees in Geography, have served at NOAA, the US Census Bureau, and USGS as a cartographer and geographer, and teach a variety of F2F (Face to Face) (including T3G) and online courses. I have authored a variety of books and textbooks about the environment, STEM, GIS, and education. These include "Interpreting Our World", "Essentials of the Environment", "Tribal GIS", "The GIS Guide to Public Domain Data", "International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning with GIS In Secondary Education", "Spatial Mathematics" and others. I write for 2 blogs, 2 monthly podcasts, and a variety of journals, and have created over 5,000 videos on the Our Earth YouTube channel. Yet, as time passes, the more I realize my own limitations and that this is a lifelong learning endeavor and thus I actively seek mentors and collaborators.
