In this presentation I give some thoughts on the Esri DevSumit 2012. It is the same as the PowerPoint version but now includes that transcript and hyperlinks.

A2 Going to the DevSummit means you have to make some tough decisions. There are so many interesting presentations and so little
time. This was my personal agenda.

8. Dia 4
A4 Python Add-Ins is a cool thing. It makes it easier to share customizations with others. Python is easier and the OM is a lot simpler that
ArcObjects. This icons in the lower right corner provide access to the presentation.

videos of the Plenary are included in the lower right corner.

A1 The Blade Runner Android App. Connecting the Rangefinder through Bluetooth to the tablet and add point locations of the objects you
look at. At the right you see Sabine and Will (Android team) and behind them Jithen from Esri New Zeeland. On the left David Cardella
pretending to be a windmill. He did a great job!

offline data.

A2 Some new things they showed were ArcGIS Runtime running on Win8 and MacOS. Morton and Eric did a great job there! If you want to
know what tunning new stuff will be presented at the following DevSummit, I recommend you to follow @dotMorton.

A3 Esri bought Procedural last year and CityEngine is now being integrated into ArcGIS. In this great 3D development software package
you can use CGA shape grammar to build up your virtual 3D world.
Some real geek stuff here.

A6 Last year (2011) it was my first time at the DevSummit and I saw most of the user presentations by Dave Bouwman (DTS Agile). He
has a very specific way of presenting stuff. Go and check this out for yourself: http://www.slideshare.net/dbouwman/presentations
This year he and Brian Noyle entered a presentation that was not technical, but would explain how they at DTS Agile design their slide
decks and do the actual presentation. I recommend you to watch the video, since it has some very useful information. I also want to
apologize since I am not following many of their recommendations in this slide deck. Not because I disagree, but simply because it was
simpler not to do so…

A7 The picture in the upper left corner shows the moment after Dave made a comment on the quality of some images used by Steve Riley
at his Keynote speech, not knowing that Steve was actually present in the audience. This led to the comment by Brian that you should
know your audience… (watch and see if the keynote speaker is present before you start to criticize his presentation) ;-)

A8 The application prototype lab is a group of Esri people that have a great amount of liberty to develop or investigate things they find
interesting. If you ever have the possibility to see a presentation by them go check it out. Also visit their blog and check out the
contributions. Especially Richie C. (Carmichael) contributes a lot of interesting stuff!

A9 Esri Maps for Office was presented by Art Haddad (CTO Esri) and showed a new piece of software that is aimed to provide GIS
functionality to non GIS-users. At this moment it integrates in Office 2010 (Excel and PowerPoint) and allows for interactive maps by
integrating ArcGIS online, geocoding and more. It will also become available for other Office software (Access, Word, Outlook) and
hopefully at a later phase will integrate with Office 365.

Agriculture and Innovation. Sadly enough they didn’t show up at the tournament registration and I couldn’t participate.

Mansour Raad (@mraad). I strongly urge you to go and see this presentation.

A12 Here you see part of 1 of the 10 killer app demos presented by Saijt and Mansour. They created a web application (picture left side)
where a user can define the route (XY) and Z from a shark to its lunch (a swimmer). They used a Arduino board to control an inflated
shark that floated through the room (photo right side). This presentation was loaded with fun and killer technology (integrating Flex
and HTML5), so go and see that video (you really must!). This video icon in the lower right has a direct link to the video.

A14 Later last year Runtime was presented as the name for all the Mobile and Desktop SDK’s (so there are 7 Runtimes now).At the
DevSummit 2012 all mobile and desktop devices are no longer distinguished and all are referred to as devices. I haven’t seen it yet, but
I would like to know when the first ArcGIS Runtime (for Linux) appears on the Raspberry Pi. ;-)

A15 Content of an ArcGIS Runtime application is provided by Map, Tile and Locator packages. You need ArcGIS 10.1 Desktop to author the
content. Functionality can come from Geoprocessing packages.
A list of supported geoprocessing tools is provided here: http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/concepts/index.html

of EDN. If you have an EDN license you can start developing now.

A18 It appears that you can develop an application using content from ArcGIS online and provide this to users for free. If you want to use
local content and geoprocessing functionality or locator packages you need to acquire a license. Also functionality from extensions need
additional licensing. At this moment SA, 3D and NA extensions are supported. If additional extensions are required, they might be
included as well (post requests at the ideas site).

Runtime will be used for future ArcGIS for Desktop (64 bits) developments
