2013 DevSummit Plenary Session
The plenary this morning showcased the full breadth of ArcGIS 10.2 highlights across the stack while driving home one solitary idea: The Platform.
In Scott Morehouse’s opening holistic view of esri’s direction, he pushed a vision of ArcGIS as a platform. A comprehensive unified information system for working with geographic data and maps that’s usable everywhere: desktop, browsers, tablets, mobile, online and offline.
The presentations that followed solidified the idea, walking the audience through an impressive collection of new development projects across the esri dev teams. Many of the presentations were driven from the new esri developer site, using sample apps and code directly from the site, and all available right now at developers.arcgis.com.
No point in me giving a detailed rundown of the proceedings as the videos are already available for your viewing pleasure RIGHT HERE.
Enjoy!
