This article by Erik Westra the author of Python Geospatial Development - Second Edition, examines a number of libraries and other tools which can be used for geospatial development in Python.
More specifically, we will cover:
Python libraries for reading and writing geospatial data
Python libraries for dealing with map projections
Libraries for analyzing and manipulating geospatial data directly within your Python programs
Tools for visualizing geospatial data
Note that there are two types of geospatial tools which are not discussed in this article: geospatial databases and geospatial web toolkits. Both of these will be examined in detail later in this book. more...

Starting with the release of Xcode 4.2 and iOS 5, developers and designers now have the ability to lay out the workflow of their applications using the new storyboards feature that has been incorporated as part of the XIB editor in Xcode.
Instead of creating numerous interface files, you can now start dragging and editing all your views in one place with the ability to specify transitions between screens and the associated actions that trigger them.
In this article by Steven F. Daniel, who has also authored the book Xcode 4 Cookbook, we will be gaining an understanding of what storyboards actually are, and how they require iOS 5 or later, as well as familiarizing ourselves with the new work flow that has been implemented within the XIB editor within Xcode. more...
In this article, written by Jonathan Derrough, author of the book entitled Instant Interactive Map Designs with Leaflet Library How-to, we will learn about Leaflet. Leaflet is a JavaScript library so there are a few JavaScript things we will need before we get started, namely an Internet browser, a text editor, and a stable release of Leaflet. We will then be on our way to create our first map. more...

Play is a full-stack web framework created to make web application development on the JVM easier and more productive. It provides APIs for Java and Scala.
A full-stack web framework provides solutions for a wide range of time-consuming web development tasks. With Play, developers are focusing on implementing functionality instead of thinking about design and architecture, and re-inventing the wheel. Only a few lines are necessary to write a fully functional web application.
Traditional web frameworks running on the JVM tend to create an abstraction layer over another abstraction layer. These heavy-weight lasagne architectures introduce an additional technical boilerplate and configuration, distracting developers from reaching their goal. Play in turn reduces complexity and simplifies web development by aligning its architecture with the that of the web, instead of abstracting it away.
Users of the Play Framework are web developers. Developers care about code readability and maintainability, fast development cycles, and easy error recovery. Play was designed by web developers to meet these goals.
Play consists of well-known parts. The basic architecture of a Play application follows the model-view-controller pattern, having an HTTP interface at its heart. Cohesive controllers and composable views share the same model.
Code changes are made visible by a simple reload of the web page in the browser. Play takes care of compiling changes in the background, independent of the development environment. This makes the development turnaround fast and easy.
Play also takes care of errors. Developers don't have to read long JVM stack traces to locate an error. Instead, Play shows the significant information directly in the browser, leading the developer right to the origin of the error. It is a big advantage that Play is a JVM framework; almost all parts of a Play application are type-safe.
This is why it is fun to develop Play applications.
In this article by Daniel Dietrich author of Instant Play Framework Starter, we will see how easy it is to create new Play application more...
