Washington, DC, March 3, 2005 -- The Carbon Project today announced it is providing a new training course for professionals and students who want to quickly learn the basics of open geospatial development, add open geospatial functionality to existing geospatial software or develop new applications.
“Fundamentals of Open Geospatial Development” leverages a new free geospatial development toolkit, CarbonTools 2, to teach attendees how to easily develop open geospatial solutions and access hundreds of online geospatial resources.
“CarbonTools 2 is a free software toolkit designed and distributed with the goal of allowing individual users the opportunity to develop and distribute open geospatial applications with no royalties or fees. We believe open geospatial interoperability should be accessible to all developers and our new training class for Open Geospatial Development delivers on that belief,” said Nuke Goldstein, Founder of The Carbon Project.
Based on the Microsoft .NET 1.1 Framework, CarbonTools 2 provides a powerful and extendible API for accessing geospatial web services based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications. CarbonTools 2 provides an easy way to interact with any OGC Web Map Service (WMS) or Web Feature Service (WFS) and easily handles Geography Markup Language (GML), OGC’s XML encoding for geospatial information.
This session of Fundamentals of Open Geospatial Development will be held on April 12-13, 2005 and hosted by Intergraph in Reston, Virginia.
Topics to be covered include: an introduction to geospatial interoperability and the CarbonTools architecture; hands-on exercises to use Geography Markup Language (GML) and OGC services from Intergraph, IONIC, CubeWerx and others; how to rapidly build an air-traffic application using open geospatial techniques and many others.

Prospective students are encouraged to visit www.CarbonTools.com to download and try the beta version of CarbonTools 2 before the class.
