This document outlines an Esri UC session on methodologies for designing great apps. It includes an introduction by the moderator and details on four 15-minute presentations: 1) Designing Redwood City's Community GIS by Stephen de Jong, 2) GIS Applications for the Modern Consumer by Richard McEntee, 3) Building Flexible, Focused GIS Web Apps by John Nerge, and 4) Using Prototyping Tools with Esri Web Development Tools by Julie Kanzler. There will be a collective 15-minute Q&A after the presentations. Attendees are asked to write down questions and complete a session survey.

Editor's Notes
- “It’s not the buttons, it’s not the animations, it’s not the interface or visual design. It’s not the colors, it’s not the font, it’s not the transitions. It’s how using the apps make me feel before, during, and after.” -Jason Fried, Founder & CEO of Basecamp (formerly known as 37signals)
- Key Points: -Primary reasons the City of Redwood City selected ArcGIS server for its Web-GIS -How the City improved performance and customized some of the available widgets 3 points about me: -Undergraduate degree in Business (University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh), Graduate degree in GIS (San Jose State) -Working in the GIS field since 2007 -Currently, the GIS Coordinator at the City of Redwood City One fun thing about me: -Prior to working in the GIS field, I was a bouncer ------ In 2009, the City of Redwood City released its first public facing GIS to provide citizens, developers, and staff remote access to spatial data. Recently, the City upgraded this system to an ArcGIS Server application using the JavaScript API. The ESRI local government templates were used as a starting point, but a fair amount of customization was added. This presentation focuses on the opportunities and challenges met during the design process. Stephen de Jong - City of Redwood City Joe Marvin - City of Redwood City Presenter Bio: Geospatial Development Team Lead at the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Technology Officer, with 18 years of experience developing GIS applications, and a B.A. and M.A. in Geography. Notes: As for my name, the first name is pronounced as Steven (not Steffen!). The last name is Dutch, but most Americans pronounce it with a French twist, which I actually like.
- The City of Cedar Park has developed an online data solution that represents a greater understanding of the information, business processes, and the needs of the users who consume it. The system provides a truly integrated look at what happens ‘here’ versus what happens in the wider world that ‘relates to here’. We believe there is a better way to present information to the public and offer a solution to a geographic problem and a sociological experiment in understanding through information. Richard McEntee - City of Cedar Park Conor Barber - City of Cedar Park Presenter Bio: Richard McEntee, GISP, is a professional Geographer with experience in research, technical design, enterprise GIS/RDBMS systems, urban planning, disaster response and ecological project management.
- Key Points: · You can’t build focused, flexible GIS apps without first having a flexible back-end infrastructure · You can use enterprise geodatabase and Python scripting to automate data creation and maintenance · The end goal is a zero maintenance model in which all data maintenance that can be automated is automated 3 points about me: 1. My main work task is building focused GIS apps for internal and public use 2. I’m also responsible for GIS data and software maintenance 3. I’ve been in GIS for six years an am a certified GISP as of this April One fun thing about me: · I’ve been doing martial arts since I was eight and wanted to be a Power Ranger ------ How can you have a rich suite of GIS apps and still have time to do the rest of your job? The City of Brooklyn Park, MN uses a mix of ArcGIS and Esri Partner software to build apps that are quick to build and easy to use. Integrating with existing city systems reduces the need to create new data. The app designs are reusable, so building new apps is quick and effective. And since the apps focus on a specific group, support is minimal. This becomes crucial when designing apps for public use. John Nerge - City of Brooklyn Park Presenter Bio: John Nerge is the GIS Coordinator for the City of Brooklyn Park, MN. He has been a GIS Professional for six years and specializes in application design, process automation, and user support. Notes: My last name is pronounced Ner (rhymes with burr) - gee (rhymes with fee, soft g like in goat).
- Examples of prototyping tools include Balsamiq, Axure, and Justinmind. I would like to share some examples of how these inexpensive tools enable web map developers to quickly mock up user interfaces. Whether designing something from scratch using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript or working within a code-free template such as the Web AppBuilder, I have found prototyping to a valuable tool for testing alternatives with users and building concrete workflows out of nebulous program flow concepts.
