An Introduction to PHP for Scientists and Engineers: Beyond JavaScript 141 pages | Springer; 1 edition (September 5, 2008) | 184800236X | PDF | 2 Mb

PHP, originally created in 1994 as a ‘Personal Home Page’ tool, is a server-side programming language that can be used to solve numerous computing problems that a client-side language like JavaScript cannot.

This highly useful text/reference presents key information needed to write your own online science and engineering applications, including reading, creating and manipulating data files stored as text on a server, thereby overcoming the limitations of a client-side language. This book focuses on those elements of the language - such as file input/output, arrays, built-in math functions, and user-created functions - that are essential for solving a wide range of scientific/engineering computing problems. It assumes a working knowledge of HTML, programming concepts, and JavaScript, C or a similar language.

3.0 out of 5 stars Problematic if you are working on a Windows platform, November 8, 2007
By Curtis Bohlen "Watershed Consultant" (Yarmouth, ME USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
I purchased this book to help with developing a simple map-enabled web page running on a Windows computer. The book proved very difficult to use in that context. If you are planning on working on a windows computer, you should be aware of some potential shortcomings.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I have considerable GIS experience, but little experience with web development.

The book assumes that you are operating not only on a UNIX-based platform, but also that you will operate in a particular "development environment". The author does provide full instructions for building that development environment on a Unix machine, so if you are starting from scratch, everything will work as described.

However....

You can not readily build the same "development environment" on a Windows computer. I installed a version of MS4W ("Mapserver 4 Windows" on my computer. MS4W is a labor saving package that rapidly sets up a web server and installs most of the other open source software one would like to have available for using Mapsource effectively. Unfortunately, the installation differs from the "development environment" assumed by the book.

As a result, there are MANY small but significant differences that crop up in developing the example applications given in the book. Many of these are simply differences in the way files are named or in the structure of the directory tree, but they are annoying and difficult to track down. it took me several DAYS of work and repeated searches for help on on-line MAPSERVER forums to figure things out and get the first several example applications running. I still have not managed to get about half of the examples up and running.

That said, the book offers a nice introduction to many of the central concepts used in Mapserver. It has a good reference section that allows you to look up Mapserver commands, etc.

Ultimately, I was able to develop the simple web-based applications I was after. This book contributed to that, but only after considerable frustration. Several Mapserver tutorials are available on-line. Some are specifically geared to Windows-based systems. They certainly offer a less tortuous, if sometimes less complete, path to getting Mapserver working on a Windows-based system.

Programming ArcObject with VBA

No Comments

Introduction
This book is designed for ArcGIS users who want to get a quick start on programming
ArcObjects. Both ArcGIS and ArcObjects are products developed and distributed
by Environmental Systems Research Institute Inc. (ESRI), ArcObjects is the development
platform for ArcGIS, a software package for managing geographic information
systems (GIS). Ideally, users should learn ArcObjects before using ArcGIS,
but that is not the case in reality. Users use ArcGIS first through its toolbars and
commands. It is easier to follow the user interface in ArcGIS than to sort out objects,
properties, and methods in code. The topic of ArcObjects usually emerges when
users realize that programming ArcObjects can actually reduce the amount of repetitive
work, streamline the workflow, and even produce functionalities that are not
easily available in ArcGIS.
How can users learn programming ArcObjects efficiently and quickly? Perhaps
surprising to some, the answer is to apply what users already know about ArcGIS
to programming ArcObjects.


ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book has fourteen chapters. The first three chapters introduce ArcObjects, programming
basics, and customization. This book adopts Visual Basic for Applications
(VBA) for programming ArcObjects. Because VBA is already embedded within
ArcMap and ArcCatalog, it is convenient for ArcGIS users to program ArcObjects
in VBA. The following summarizes the major topics covered in the first three
chapters:
• Chapter 1: ArcObjects — Geodatabase, ArcObjects, organization of ArcObjects,
the help sources on ArcObjects, and the Geoprocessing object.
• Chapter 2: Programming Basics — Basic elements, writing code, calling subs and
functions, Visual Basic Editor, and debugging code.
• Chapter 3: Customization of the User Interface — Creating a toolbar with existing
commands, adding a new button and tool, adding a form, and making basic
templates.
Chapters 4 through 14 discuss programming ArcObjects for solving common
GIS tasks. Organized around a central theme, each chapter has three parts. The first
part is a quick review of ArcGIS commands on the topic; the second part discusses
objects that are related to the theme; and the third part presents sample macros and
Geoprocessing macros for solving common tasks under the theme. This combination
of ArcGIS commands, ArcObjects, and sample macros can effectively relate the
user’s experience of working with ArcGIS to programming ArcObjects.
The CD that accompanies this book contains 95 sample macros stored in the
VBA_programs folder by chapter. Each sample macro starts with a short description
of its usage and a list of key interfaces and members (properties and methods). These
are followed by the listing and explanation of code. Many macros are divided into
two or more parts to better connect the code lines and their explanation. Stored as
text files, these sample macros can be easily imported to Visual Basic Editor in either
ArcMap or ArcCatalog to view and run.
The companion CD also includes 33 Geoprocessing macros that are new in this
second edition. These macros are stored in the GP_programs folder by chapter. The
Geoprocessing object is a new ArcObjects component that supports the execution of
hundreds of Geoprocessing tools in a scripting language such as VBA or Python. These
tools are the same as in the ArcToolbox application of ArcGIS Desktop. The Geoprocessing
object is a “coarse-grained” object, which is simpler to use than a “fine-grained”
object. Therefore it allows users who do not understand all the details of ArcObjects
to run macros. To separate them from “regular” VBA macros, Geoprocessing macros
are included in “boxes” in Chapters 4 through 7 and in Chapters 9 through 14.
All sample macros in the text have been run successfully in ArcGIS 9.2. The
companion CD contains datasets for the test runs, which are stored by chapter in
the Data folder. Two notes must be made about use of the sample macros. First,
ArcGIS 9.1 or 9.2 is needed to run the macros. Second, the Data folder is coded in
the sample macros as residing on the C drive (for example, c:\data\chap4). If the
folder is stored on a different drive (for example, the G drive), then the path should
be changed (for example, g:\data\chap4) before running the macros.
The following summarizes the major tasks covered in each chapter:
• Chapter 4: Dataset and Layer Management — Add datasets as layers, manage
layers and datasets, and report geographic dataset information.
• Chapter 5: Attribute Data Management — List fields, add or delete fields, calculate
field values, and join and relate tables.
• Chapter 6: Data Conversion — Convert shapefile to geodatabase, convert coverage
to geodatabase and shapefile, perform rasterization and vectorization, and add XY
data.
• Chapter 7: Coordinate Systems — Manipulate on-the-fly projection, define the
coordinate system, perform geographic transformation, and project datasets.
• Chapter 8: Data Display — Display vector data, display raster data, and create a
layout page.
• Chapter 9: Data Exploration — Perform attribute query, perform spatial query,
combine attribute and spatial queries, and derive descriptive statistics.
• Chapter 10: Vector Data Operations — Run buffer, perform overlay, join data by
location, and manipulate features.
• Chapter 11: Raster Data Operations — Manage raster data and perform local,
neighborhood, zonal, and distance measure operations.
• Chapter 12: Terrain Mapping and Analysis — Derive contour, slope, aspect, and
hillshade; perform viewshed analysis; perform watershed analysis; and create and
edit triangulated irregular networks (TIN).
• Chapter 13: Spatial Interpolation — Perform spatial interpolation and compare
interpolation methods.
• Chapter 14: Binary and Index Models — Build binary and index models, both
vector and raster based.
