This will be a development session where delegates will learn all about the latest features available on the platform covering both web and mobile and focus on deCarta's new version of its JavaScript API built on top of the industry's leading independent high-volume LBS platform.
Leveraging HTML5 technologies, developers will see how to write once and deploy everywhere with the cross-device API that will allow for building applications that run seamlessly on tablets, smartphones and desktop devices. DeCarta's platform supports large LBS services and is available as a cloud-based service or as a self-hosted solution.
The user interface (UI) library is highly customisable and allows customers to design applications that reflect their visual style of choice and brand through five different map styles or building their own.
Fleet and mobile resource management specific features will be covered including pin clustering, draggable shapes, customisable polygons, exclusion zones, geo-fencing and highly configurable routing.
The company will once again be running a competition for the best application developed by the end of the day on a concept of the individual developer's choice. The best application developed will win R30 000 worth of free transactions on the API.
"Whether a developer needs or is currently utilising web or mobile location based services (LBS) applications, this is the preferred technology platform that enables the user to easily white label any application. Users of our LBS platform receive local support from the company's support team, quality mapping data powered by TomTom, full control of content and an online free DevZone portal for 24/7 support," says Etienne Louw, MD mapIT.
The delegates will experience free access to the company's software during the development phase of their application. Developers can also download the complete source code for the API from the company's DevZone, allowing them to get under the hood and customise and extend the API to a fuller extent than otherwise found in the industry.
