This is my last week at my Cincinnati client. My previous posts have been about reviewing the present. This post deals with my future. I am been in the development stages of a new application framework called History Slider. Basically, it allows you to move through time on a fixed map, and show information about that time period. For example, you could have a map of Cincinnati and Dayton, and graphically display the urban sprawl of these two cities. Stop anywhere on the slider and select either UI element, and you can find out the population of the city, it’s suburbs, and any other information you would like to use. I call it a framework because the maps and data can change, but the displaying of data through the UI will not. I even have plans for integration with Google Earth. If you are interested (especially if you are an application Development person), go here. This is an open source framework that is being written in JavaFX. A proof of concept test class is out there now.
