OptimizePrime

Montreal, Canada

I've developed enterprise systems for organisations for 6000+ employees and have a list of things relating to Spatial tech, optimisation and development that I'd like to cement and share. Anything to do with Best Practices, Optimisation and Design Principals relating to Spatial Systems, Databases or just a coding in general feel free to email me. I like to code.

I've been wrapped up in GIS for about 8 years now, but like anything that seems like a puzzle. GIS has many of them, squeezing performance out of a spatial system is just one of them that affects all users.

I want to contribute to it's solution.

comment Using primary keys with SDE (Oracle) best practice?
A rule of thumb that I use for any ESRI dataset, is to state my own key. The ObjectID (geodatabases) and Feature ID (shapefile) can and do change as the data is manipulated.

comment Its possible to catch ServiceException in Openlayers?
This is a good lead. You will not be be able to catch a Service Exception on the client side, unless GeoServer informs the client of a ServiceException. If it does you're in business, you can handle the exception appropriately.

comment Reprojection - Learning the ins and outs
I had heard of this book about 6-7 years ago, and failed to get a copy. Thank you very much for the FREE version! I had a feeling you would come to my aid. I don't want to lessen the thank you - except now I'll have to brush up on my calculus ;)

I considered doing that, but I wasn't sure if answering my own question was very sporting. Someone may have come up with a better solution! I've made the change ;)
