Day 1 | 13:35 | 00:25 | AW1.120 | Olivia Guyot
Note: I'm reworking this at the moment, some things won't work.
Interactive maps on the web have evolved a lot in the past years. OpenLayers is no exception: it has been around for more than a decade and has become a reference with its extensive feature set and excellent performance. As a landmark open-source project, it has received thousands of contributions over time while managing a very high level of quality.
In this talk we will look at the state of the library today, what it now allows and why, now more than ever, it is an essential part of every geospatial web application. From high-performance rendering of large datasets to on-the-fly satellite image processing, its list of features is so large that you will most likely discover things along the way. New formats, ever-improving WebGL rendering, a powerful new expression-based styling API, and more!
Whether you're a long-time user or just discovering OpenLayers, this session promises fresh insights and practical takeaways for leveraging its full potential.
