Using OGC functions in SQL Server 2008 part 4 – Google Maps

So I’d now got to the stage where I’d pulled in some postcode data into SQL Server, got the county boundaries for one county (the mighty Lancashire) and figured out how to do a spatial query to tell me which postcodes were in that county. Now I wanted to display those postcodes on a map. So time to turn to Google Maps and Visual Studio. First I created a simple generic handler in C# that...

Reality

When I was a girl, growing up in a small town in Lancashire, I was used to the sights and sounds of an industrial landscape. From my bedroom window, I could see a woollen-spinning mill complete with tall, mill chimney and the sound of churning machinery. On days when the industrial process began, the smell from the extraction of lanolin from the wool was appalling! This was just part of life... the...

Ding dong merrily off, petty bureaucrat

Over at the Daily Mail, you can read about some silly man in Lancashire whose organisation is (at public expense) pumping out cards to tell carol singers to push off in case they upset "vulnerable people". This is preposterous. People have been singing carols in an unchanged tradition for hundreds of years in this country without any problems. Are we really supposed to think that this Lancashire...

Course you can at UCLAN

Very attentive and asked some smart questions. There are fewer opportunities in magazines now, but at it's heart it is a young person's industry. Some of their course projects have a well thought through digital element too. But as you absorb...
