Attend this talk and find out how to make it happen. GeoTools is the library to use for working with standards; and getting standards to work. This presentation will cover the use of GeoTools to create maps, hack databases and files, and update content on a Web Feature Server. Want more? Create beautiful displays using the Style Layer Descriptor standard and grab content from around the globe using our excellent Web Map Server client code. Have enough information now? Combine it all smoothly using our fantabulous reprojection support. And that is just what comes as part of the core library. Did you know that a series of extensions are also available? These extensions build up and outward, providing transaction safe validation checks across data sources; and a full graphing API that is so simple you can find your way home. Then we get into the downright nifty – an SLD generator that makes your data look great (with enough color research that you will never have to worry about the difference between a projector and a photocopier again). Bet you wish the last presentation you were in used GeoTools. GeoTools is part of the initial charge of Open Source Geospatial Foundation projects. The library is available in a free and business-friendly LGPL license. We have reached the, gasp, ten year mark and represent mature working solution to your server or client programming needs. GeoTools is the brains behind the popular GeoServer and uDig projects … will yours be next? Attend this talk and find out how to make it happen. Disclaimer: Some standards were harmed in the making of this library. If you see GML tell him he can come home now, that validation thing was just a joke. Jody Garnett is a representative of GeoTools Project Management Committee and has been actively involved since 2003. Also seen enthusiastically involved with uDig, GeoServer and GeoAPI.
