Geospatial web apps development with OpenGeo Suite Client SDK (GXP)
1 like3,101 views
GXP is a JavaScript SDK that builds on GeoExt and OpenLayers to provide a complete toolkit for developing complex web mapping applications with minimal configuration. It aims to simplify the creation of web GIS applications by handling UI components, maps, custom components, and the development lifecycle. The document discusses what GXP is, its place in the technology stack, why it is useful, learning resources, and provides an example of creating a full web GIS application from start to finish using the GXP toolkit.

- 2. DEVELOPING WITH GXP (OpenGeo Suite Client SDK) Alberto Romeu - @alrocar Jorge Sanz - @xurxosanz
- 3. What is GXP? "a Javascript SDK for developing high level GeoExt based Applications"
- 4. Where in the stack?
- 5. Why GXP?
- 6. 1 Need of a COMPLETE SDK for web mapping applications
- 7. 2 MINIMAL CONFIGURATION for complex apps
- 8. 3 FREE - GPLv3 License
- 9. 4 EVEN EASIER to create new applications
- 10. the concept
- 11. 1 GeoExt + OpenLayers + GXP API + SDK UI + MAP + Custom components + Lifecycle
- 12. 2 Take CONFIGURATION PATTERN to a higher level
- 13. 3 Bundled into the OpenGeo Suite (also standalone)
- 14. 4 COMPLETE development lifecycle (create, proxy, minimize, deploy...)
- 16. 1 web GIS applications factories
- 17. 2 HIGHER LEVEL GIS components (editing, styling, browsing...)
- 18. 3 (Even more) BEGINNERS confused by HTML/CSS
- 21. 1 Learn by EXAMPLE OpenGeo recipes book GXP examples GeoExt examples ExtJS examples OpenLayers examples
