New on our DTS Code Dojo: Created as a demonstration integrating Google Maps and the ExtJS Javascript framework, the Wind Energy Explorer is a site for viewing our nation’s wind energy capacity. The initial functionality is focused on loading state polygons into the map via GeoJSON. When the user clicks on a state, the rendering the capacity over last 9 years is shown as a Google Chart. The viewer also makes use of the powerful data grid in ExtJS, which automatically supports custom sorting. We will be adding more functionality to this viewer over the coming months.
Our recent work with National Geographic, the MetaLens Virtual Earth Viewer also got some good use and some press in the Coloradoan newspaper. David Wright, National Geographic’s Director of Professional Products, used the site we created to post a photo journal of the recent effects of a tornado that hit nearby Windsor, Colorado. It was a great use of the site in raising local awareness of the devastation the tornado left in its wake. If you’d like to donate to the Windsor Relief Fund, visit the City of Windsor website to find out how you can help those in need.
