Hi mate, I have this link for you: If I remember well, you have example about data and how you can improve them. Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/download/fq4hawwm4qxd2nk/GIS_Applications_in_Agriculture.rar I know, again a lot to read!!! darksabersan.

arcengine only bunch of library, for the language itself, what you prefer? NET, java, or C++ ?

what your fave linux OS mate?

I am sure linux has everything an os can give, better resource utilization to hardware compatibility. Though no 'Optimus', 'Bumblebee' and xRandr makes it flawless. A bright day awaits.

it's early development, we'll see in the future

using AIMP right now, the interface similar to winamp but with with few resource

It's been a long time since Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer, invented the high-level object-oriented programming language called Python. No sooner the language hit the community, it spread like fire. The true power of python is that it's free, fully open-source, easy to learn and understandable, well documented high-level programming environment. Like any other community, GIS also thrived with it. From OSGeo to the mighty ESRI, everyone is somewhat using Python in their projects. New tools, apps and websites are making way. Developers are building new frameworks and modules for it. In this topic we will look at few of the most prominent ones. GDAL It will come a time in every GIS Professional’s career when they will need to quickly access information from a random shapefile they have, but do not have access to any GIS software or geoprocessing functionality (think of a laptop on the road, a remote machine not running Windows, etc). GDAL comes to the rescue, providing us such functionalities. GDAL is a translator library with Python bindings that allows access to raster data using a unified abstract layer. Bundled with it is OGR, which provides similar functionality for vector data. ArcPy ArcPy (not truly a module,predecessor is arcgisscripting) is a site package that builds on (and is a successor to) the successful arcgisscripting module. Its goal is to create the cornerstone for a useful and productive way to perform geographic data analysis, data conversion, data management, and map automation with Python. ArcPy provides access to geoprocessing tools as well as additional functions, classes, and modules that allow you to create simple or complex workflows quickly and easily. ArcPy provides access to geoprocessing tools as well as additional functions, classes, and modules that allow you to create simple or complex workflows. Broadly speaking, ArcPy is organized in tools, functions, classes, and modules. Numpy I cannot think of any GIS practitioner that did not have to manipulate raster data in a peculiar way, only finding that the software at hand doesn’t allow you to perform many customized functions. If one can interpret raster data (which GDAL above helps us with), then one can use them in Python as a matrix (algebraic matrix). numpy is the best Python package out there for this sort of situation. numpy is a package that enables n-dimensional array manipulation in Python, as essential part of any scientific endeavor. It also provides linear algebra functionalities, Fourier transforms and random number generators. SciPy SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It is also the name of a very popular conference on scientific programming with Python. The SciPy library depends on NumPy, which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world's leading scientists and engineers. If you need to manipulate numbers on a computer and display or publish the results, give SciPy a try! PySAL PySAL is an open source cross-platform library of spatial analysis functions written in Python. It is intended to support the development of high level applications for spatial analysis. It is important to underscore what PySAL is, and is not, designed to do. First and foremost, PySAL is a library in the fullest sense of the word. Developers looking for a suite of spatial analytical methods that they can incorporate into application development should feel at home using PySAL. Spatial analysts who may be carrying out research projects requiring customized scripting, extensive simulation analysis, or those seeking to advance the state of the art in spatial analysis should also find PySAL to be a useful foundation for their work. GeoDjango GeoDjango is a free and open source web application framework, written in Python, which follows the model–view–controller architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an independent organization established as a non-profit. Some well known sites that use Django include Pinterest, Instagram, Mozilla, The Washington Times, and the Public Broadcasting Service. NetworkX – Complex Networks Analysis While most GIS software out there provides the ability to build networks, sometimes it is easier to build networks quickly and dirty, without having to involve complex GIS software. An analysis of participation by space in an experiment can easily be achieved using the simple, yet powerful NetworkX module. NetworkX is a Python package for the creation, manipulation, and study of the structure, dynamics, and functions of complex networks. It is hosted by the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and sees active development (presumably sponsored somehow by Los Alamos). PyProj Performs cartographic transformations and geodetic computations. The Proj class can convert from geographic (longitude,latitude) to native map projection (x,y) coordinates and vice versa, or from one map projection coordinate system directly to another. GeoJSON GeoJSON is a format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures. A GeoJSON object may represent a geometry, a feature, or a collection of features. GeoJSON supports the following geometry types: Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon, and GeometryCollection. Features in GeoJSON contain a geometry object and additional properties, and a feature collection represents a list of features. Shapely Shapely is a BSD-licensed Python package for manipulation and analysis of planar geometric objects. It is based on the widely deployed GEOS (the engine of PostGIS) and JTS (from which GEOS is ported) libraries. This C dependency is traded for the ability to execute with blazing speed. Shapely is not concerned with data formats or coordinate systems, but can be readily integrated with packages that are. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let me hear about modules I missed here.
