High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Google Maps is a basic web mapping service application and technology provided by Google, free, that powers many mapbased services, including the Google Maps website, Google Ride Finder, Google Transit, and maps embedded on thirdparty websites via the Google Maps API. It offers street maps, a route planner for traveling by foot, car, or public transport and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world. According to one of its creators, Google Maps is a way of organizing the worlds information geographically. Google Maps uses the Mercator projection, so it cannot show areas around the poles. A related product is Google Earth, a standalone program for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, SymbianOS, and iPhone OS which offers more globeviewing features, including showing polar areas.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles WuGeo is a Python library used to draw points on geographical maps, starting from latitude and longitude. It borns from the desire to track site visitors, then becomes an abstract library, being a scientific generic tool. In particular, WuGeo has to be used with world maps created with the Miller cylindrical projection, that is a modified Mercator projection. The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator, in 1569. It became the standard map projection for nautical purposes because of its ability to represent lines of constant course, known as rhumb lines or loxodromes, as straight segments. While the linear scale is constant in all directions around any point, thus preserving the angles and the shapes of small objects (which makes the projection conformal), the Mercator projection distorts the size and shape of large objects, as the scale increases from the Equator to the poles, where it becomes infinite.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor (the name is a recursive acronym) is a widely used, generalpurpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. As a generalpurpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter application in commandline mode performing desired operating system operations and producing program output on its standard output channel. It may also function as a graphical application. PHP is available as a processor for most modern web servers and as standalone interpreter on most operating systems and computing platforms. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 134 Publication Date: 2010/07/21 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.31 inches
Have you ever thought about programming a .NET applicaton with PHP? One that also includes a Graphical User Interface? Such a scenario has been unlikely so far, but this book turns the tide. It shows you how to translate PHP scripts into .NET assemblies and how to run them on Windows and other operating systems. Since PHP has become an exciting programming language, it is time for the . NET community to benefit from it. The focus of this book is not about programming web applications; it is about implementing the language PHP as for the .NET Platform and how to integrate it with other .NET languages. Thus, software engineers can use PHP as a fullyfledged programming language for developing standalone applications outside of web pages. For this purpose, a compiler is presented that translates PHP scripts into .NET bytecode called Common Intermediate Language (CIL). This book also introduces PHP and CIL in detail and provides a good insight into basics and concepts of compiler construction. Furthermore, it looks behind the scenes of the Microsoft .NET Framework and the Mono Project, which is a considerable opensource implementation of the .NET Platform.
