[TCMUG] MPCA interactive map

[Fawcett, David]

I agree!  

If Tufte were dead, he could roll in his grave.  Instead, I guess he
just keeps making incredible amounts of money from his seminars and
books...

What I think is so obnoxious about the flex viewer is that whenever it
does something, it is like it is screaming, 'hey, did you notice that I
am using Flash!!?'.  'No, really, what if I spin three times, do
backflips and emit a puff of smoke?  Now do you see the Flash?!'  'Who
cares that you have data or not?, I am using Flash, man...'

David.

The flex interface made me think of the article in the Fall 2009 issue
of
ArcUser "Four lessons on usability and the GeoWeb".  (Link:
http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/1009/4_lessons.html )  Some good things
to remember no matter the vendor.
