Congrats Doug! It looks awesome. It is great that you find time to help others learn even while working hard on a full time job. Also fun to see the my hometown Police Dept. mentioned. Keep up the good work.

Mind if I ask who produced the video and/or what software you guys used? The app looks really great, the promo video is really incredible too. Congrats!

The promo video alone is pretty incredible . Kind of makes you want to drop coding and take up motion graphics .

Just applied for the beta.

Hey Doug, I was wondering how you managed to overlay your slider with the advancedDataGrid. Is the slider part of the renderer or is it overlayed on top of the grid?

I also have to say, spatialKey is incredible, and a much better alternative than Palantir or Centrifuge.

@paddy – it’s hard to really put a concrete timeline on the development of SpatialKey. I first started doing some R&D work that ended up being the basis for some of the mapping stuff back in April 2007, nearly two years ago. I posted a video of that R&D project (which was called “LaunchPad” ) back in October 2007. And since then we’ve iterated over a few completely different instances of the application while working with our early alpha testers. The current beta product has bits and pieces from all that work over the past two years, but the bulk of the application has been put together over the past 6-8 months really. Like a lot of software development, it took us A LOT of experimentation and gathering feedback from early users to actually figure out what kind of a product people wanted.
