What software do I need to get started with GIS development

Hello, I'm a Oracle RDBMS specialist but interested in getting into GIS development. I want to set up a local environment and play around with it. Could someone advise me as to what software I need to install/download? Is all of it free?
1.) I'm assumming I need ORACLE with SPATIAL (was looking into 10g) Is this download free?
2.) I also looked into MAP VIEWER as an extension of the Oracle Application Server.
Are these 2 products all I need to get started?
I also read alot about arcGIS? Can this product be downloaded for free or is it a licensed product?
Does anyone have any other suggestions about some software/documentation that may help me get started in this technology.
Thanks,

Hello!!
Actually, you need Oracle Spatial or Oracle Locator. Oracle Locator is free on Oracle Express, and you could start with it. Otherwise, if you want to know more, Oracle Spatial comes with Oracle Enterprise, and Oracle 10g gives you a schema that allow you to store, manage and query spatial data through Oracle functions, etc.
To start using MapViewer, considering that you already have some spatial data stored on the database, you could download the MapViewer kit at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/spatial/index.html.
You could buy the Pro Oracle Spatial book. It´s very good.
Good Luck!

  • What software do I need to get music from a vinyl record into ITunes

    What software do I need to get music from a vinyl record into ITunes

    When I used Audacity to digitize some of my LPs I would record the whole album, then trim the lead in, select and export the first track, delete that, then export the next track, and so on. You can zoom in and out to locate the track breaks. There is a snap to zero point option which should prevent clicks on track transitions. If you want to go deeper you can add fade in and out so you don't snap into the sound of the groove. (I was using a pretty ropey turntable). There are other tools that chop up audio but you should be able to do it all in Audacity reasonably quickly once you get your eye in. I'm sure there are tools that can chop audio at pre-specified points, or even calculate where those points should be, but they are unlikely to be free and probably still need a degree of supervision.

    Yes I checked it.  As far as I can see I did everything Apple said to do.  I took some screen shot so you can see how the screens are connected and what and where the code is, and what it does when I drag the cancel and done bar buttons to the exit

  • What do i need to get started with windows messages?

    Hello, i've searched these forums and found no answer. I would like to know how i can get started sending and recieving windows messages in labVIEW. Thanks

    LabVIEW does not support direct acces to the Windows Message Queue. I asume that you are asking this in regard to enqueued events. There are certain events which are of interested for LV and therefore they will be "passed on to LV" (simplified expression).
    If you want to have access to the Windows Message Queue manually, you have to create your own interface using MFC-based C++ wrapper. I think there are examples available for such things, but they are most often focused on specific tasks, so maybe (if available at all) they will not help you.....
    hope this helps,

  • Direction Needed to Get Started With XSQL Servlet

    Hi, I am an ORACLE DBA. However, I am brand new to XML world. I tried to experiment and and understand the use of XSQL Servlet. I downloaded the software 1.0.0.0, and installed it on my PC, with the included Web-to-go. The installation seems to be OK, as I followed the instructions and twisted a little bit based on the intuition.
    When I clicked on the Demo pages, it seemed to work.
    The problem is, I want to understand the working of the XSQL Servlet. The only document I have is the Release Note of the software. It is very terse and seems to be for the ones who either worked on the previous release of the product or who knows the XML very well. I got lost in the reading of the document.
    Is there some documents that will provide some Intro level tutorial or help? Where should I begin to the learning of the software?
    Thanks for the help.

  • Beginner! Need help getting started with recording music.

    I am the definition of 'new' at the moment. I want to record my own music at home and I've been told that using an Apple Mac is one of the better ways to go about it at home.
    I have a number of questions, most of which have probably been asked before (apologies!) starting right from the beginning.
    1. What type of Mac would be best suited as a dedicated tool for recording music? Obviously speed and memory are big factors, but are there any other considerations here (available inputs, drivers, sound cards etc)? I'm hoping to keep the cost below AUS$3000 if possible.
    2. Do i need any other hardware for this application? (this is where you can tell how inexperienced I am haha) such as mixers etc? If I should need a mixer, is there a particular type or brand of mixer that works well with Macs?
    3. Will plugging a guitar amp into the mac improve sound quality over plugging the guitar directly into the Mac? I bought a Griggin Garage Band guitar cable a while ago to record some background music for a friend's DVD, and I found it worked well, but I'm looking for the best quality sound now.
    4. What would be the most effective software to use? I've briefly used Garage Band and found that to be simple and useful, but I've heard that there are better software packages available.
    I'm hoping to be able to record guitar, bass and vocals directly on to the Mac, and create drum tracks using samples and loops. I know how to play music but as you can tell I know very little about recording it! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thanks..

    I would presume one line level input will suffice?
    Close, you need a Line Level AND Mic Level input since you'll want to record vocals.
    Thanks for the link to your Q&A page, I found some very useful info there.
    It's showing its age, and will hopeful get updated soon, but most of the info is good at least for a background.
    Anyway, I think I might recommend this Presonus INSPIRE over the FireBox, it'll save you about $100 and since PreSonus makes excellent equipment (and we have an active member here that uses the Inspire), I'm confident that it offers great quality.
    I think the firepod that you use looks great, but might be overkill
    I agree, the FirePod would be serious overkill for your needs. Again, an awesome interface, but you'd be paying for all those Mic PREs, and using 1. That wouldn't make sense, and since the FP isn't cheap...
    my talent and engineering knowledge is quite limited
    Then I would strongly suggest GB as the software, and then do lots of reading. The weakest link in music production is your engineering skills. Mixing and Mastering (especially the latter) are art forms. A bad engineer using a $10,000 bit of software and hardware would make a fantastic performance sound like garbage. With good engineering skills you can make a pro recording with GB.
    The learning curve with something like Logic is dramatically increased, and again, without the skills to take advantage of what it offers, your recordings are not going to sound any better. At the very least, start with GB to learn the skills of Recording/Editing/Mixing/Mastering. The "price of admission" is low enough that if in a year you find that you need a feature GB doesn't offer, your money will not have been wasted, it will have been valuable learning time.
    Hope those more specific answers help

  • Need help getting started with the ML505 Development Kit

    First of all, an admission...I am a newb to the FPGA world. A babe in the wilderness. I am trying to run a simple little logic design to get my feet wet. Four inputs using the WEST, CENTER, SOUTH, and EAST pushbuttons feeding two AND gates which feeds an OR gate which turns on the NORTH LED. I have tried to use the Platform Cable USB to download the project to the XCF32P Platform Flash PROM using the iMPACT software. As of yet I have been unable to get the program to run. The iMPACT program says the programming was successful but after pressing the PROG button, the DONE LED does not turn on. I've tried different settings with the Configuration Address and Mode DIP switches with no success. To anyone using the ML505, given the gear I have at my disposal, what would you recommend? What modes have you used that worked? Thanks in advance.

    Here is the latest setup I have used in trying to get my FPGA to read from the Platform FLASH PROM. Configuration Address/Mode DIP switches set to 01011001 as per "My Own Platform Image Demonstration" method in the "ML505/ML506/ML507 Getting Started Tutorial" The Platform Cable USB is plugged into the JTAG connector on the ML505. Its status LED is green. In iMPACT the Boundary Scan reveals the following chain... TDI ----- xcf32p -----xcf32p-----xc9s144x1-----xccace-----xc5vlx50t-----TDO   The same mcs file is loaded into both PROMs (xcf32p). I start the programming cycle. It completes and says "Programming Successful" I press the PROG button on the ML505 and the DONE LED does not turn on and the design does not work. With the same chain I add the bit file to the xc5vlx50t so I have the PROMs loaded with mcs files and the FPGA with the bit file. I run the program function again. "Programming successful" is again indicated. The DONE LED lights and the design works. I then press the PROG button. The DONE LED turns off and the design ceases to function. I have also tried this with only one PROM loaded with a mcs file with no success. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

  • Download a Project file for Visual Studio regarding the Kinect for Windows v2? Getting Started with Kinect Development in Visual Studio

    I am currently trying to make an application for Kinect for Windows v2 but I am entirely new to Visual Studio and Kinect development and could use some help getting started. I honestly have no idea where or how to start and I figured the easiest thing would
    be to obtain a simple project file and examine how it works myself, but I have been unable to find one. The easiest thing would be if I could obtain a project file for Visual Studio that is an application which overlays the Skeletal model over people in real
    time, though similar project files would also be appreciated. The app I am making largely involves things similar to overlaying the skeletal model on bodies so this would get me off to a great start and show me how the code is laid out within visual studio
    simultaneously. (I would prefer the code to be in C# if that is possible but other languages also work).
    I have checked out some of the guides for kinect development but they all assume you know how visual studio works so I cannot get very far in them. Thus if you know of a good guide to get me started with visual stuido AND the Kinect then I would be glad
    to here that as well.
    Alternatively, and I know this is not the right place for this, I have Matlab, which I know works for the Kinect v1 but can't find support for it regarding the v2, so if you could point me in the right direction on how to get it to work with the Kinect v2
    THAT would also work incredibly well as I am much more familiar with Matlab.
    I already have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 installed, as well as the Kinect SDKv2.0, the physical Kinect for Windows v2, and my laptop meets all of the requirements for development so those are not issues.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

    Hi Jicnon,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. About your issue, I think that it is
    more related to the Kinect for Windows v2, so I suggest you can post this issue directly to Kinect for Windows v2 SDK forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=kinectv2sdk
    ,maybe you will get better support.
    In addition, I find a similar thread about your issue, maybe you will get some useful message.

  • Need Help Getting Started with New iPod

    I already had an 8g iPod, however, I just purchased a 64 on Amazon ... it was new but open box.  I hooked it into my computer and the only thing that shows on the screen is the power chord pointing up to iTunes.
    I have reinstalled iTunes, but my system will not recognize this iPod, nor can I get to any other screens on the iPod.
    Can someone please provide some direction?
    Thanks much!

  • Newby...need help getting started with 80g

    ok...
    with 30gb ipod video i could connect to any type of computer pc or mac and upload music...
    with the ipod classic is it one or the other...

    17 hours??! Just to do the factory restore? Or does that include repopulating an 80Gb library. Either way it still sounds excessive to me. I take it you have USB 2.0 and a broadband net connection. I'm sure I've seen some postings about moving from PC to Mac elsewhere in the forums. You might want to track these down for useful advice before commiting to such drastic action.
    Restoring will wipe the hard drive of the iPod removing all content so be sure that there is nothing you want on the iPod that you don't have backed up somewhere else before you proceed.

  • Is this the right place for me to get started with pdf development?

    Hi, What I am going to do is to write some AS3 classes which will load a pdf file and can extract its data like taking BitmapData shots from all the pages and that stuff...
    so, will you be able to let me know if I'd be able to ask tech questions in this forum along the way? and also, will you be able to tell me where to start to get some helpful information about pdf files so that I can access and read them in binary level?
    any comment is appriciated,
    Hadi

    thanks for the reply, I just downloaded that reference book and will start reading it in a few minutes... I wonder if I'd also need to purchase the pdf library thing later?  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/library/
    or accesing the pdf in AS3 in binary level will solve my problem of taking bitmapData screenshots from pages?

  • Need help getting started -Editing software

    Hello everyone
    I need to get started with video editing on a Mac -
    I didn't touch an editing software since 1998 , it was premiere 4.2 on a PC !
    And didn't keep up with what's new but i'm now using a Mac!
    I assume now most software allow realtime rendering, and have great tools !
    So, I'd like to put together a holiday movie I shot on a DV camera-
    once finished , it would either play from the computer connected to a Video projector AND / OR burned on a DVD .
    I'd like to make something a bit creative : Split frames / moving Titles accross the screen etc...
    my questions :
    -If possible, I'd like to minimize the rendering process ( realtime?) What is a good editing software Imovie / Final cut ( which one?) / Premiere ?
    -What can I use to create split frame ( video)
    -What can I use to create moving titles ? ( important)
    -Can this be achievable on a Macbook 1,83GHZ / 2GB of RAM/ 250GB EXT. Harddrive FW.?
    Thanks for you inputs ( Open subject )
    David

    You don't need timecode to make frame accurate cuts.
    You simply play or drag the playhead to roughly where you want it and then use the left and right arrow keys to move frame by frame to the exact frame you want.
    Incidentally if you hold down the Shift key, each touch of the arrow key will jump 10 frames.
    iMovie has a tremendous amount of potential which may be hidden away at first sight.
    Take a look at those fantastic and easy to produce titles - the hardest part is typing the letters!
    Incidentally, even FCE does not display the original tape timecode natively.
    Ian.
    P.S. The best way to unlock most of its secrets is to get a book. Most good libraries usually stock them or can get them for you.

    Thanks!

    You need to install OS X Lion 10.7.2 to access iCloud on your mac.  First you would need to purchase a Snow Leopard retail disc ($29 USD), then run software update to get to 10.6.6 (10.6.8 preferred) to access the app store to download lion ($29 USD), or if you have a slow internet connection, you can purchase Lion on a USB drive for $69 USD.  Make sure your mac meets this minimum requirements in order to run each of these versions of OS X
