Wil Blouin's Web GIS Portfolio

Background: This lab focused on practicing basic functions of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS (cascading style sheets), and JavaScript, all working together to form a basic website. HTML was first written, then CSS styling was added, then JavaScript was added last to provide extra functionality. Two webpages were created. One was created using instructions on how to code, and the next was a practice of creative use of the functions demonstrated in the first code. Methods: Part 1: Developing HTML Part 1 is focused on creating the HTML portion of the website. The completed HTML code for the site is shown below. Some portions of this code will be talked about later as they refer to the CSS and JavaScript aspects of the webpage. The HTML document was created in Notepad++ and stored in its permanent location on the deployment server. The code opens with the document type, which is a marker that the Notepad++ application reads to know that it will be creating an HTML 5 ...

Background: This lab focuses on building web apps using the ESRI Web AppBuilder in both of it's varieties, ArcGIS Online, and Developer Edition running on a desktop. A web app is created with ArcGIS Online that uses a web map and feature service created in past labs, then it is attempted to be imported to Web AppBuilder Developer Edition, then when it fails it is recreated on the desktop version of the software. After this is all finished, it is uploaded to a local network server where it can then be accessed via URL. Methods: Part 1: Building webGIS apps through Web AppBuilder Integrated Edition This part focuses on creating a web app for the hurricane and earthquake mapped in Lab 2. To begin, a web app was created in ArcGIS Online through the create button and the Using the Web AppBuilder option. With the   Web AppBuilder open, the Foldable theme was chosen, then on the map tab the map that was created in Lab 2 from the service published in Lab 2 was chosen. The initial e...

Goals and Background: In this lab services are uploaded to ArcGIS Online and the local UWEC web GIS server in a variety of ways. The services created encompass vector, tiled raster, and simple table data uploaded from ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcMap. Also practiced in this lab is connecting to servers, and correctly defining the services for their specific functions. Methods: Part 1: Publishing Feature Hosted Services Through ArcGIS Online After receiving the data for the lab from the instructor, some shapefile data including cities Interstates highways and counties of Wisconsin was compressed into a zip file. The resulting zip file was then uploaded to ArcGIS online, using the Add Item From my computer button in the My Content page. In the dialog, the zip file was selected for the file, with the contents specified as shapefile, the box was checked to make the file published as a hosted layer, the title was entered as wisconsin_transportation, and some specific tags were ...
