FOSS4G 2011 Presentation: Mixing It Up with OpenLayers, ArcGIS Server and JavaScript Widgets
We recently had the opportunity to present at FOSS4G 2011, the premiere international conference for open source geospatial software that was held in Denver this year (right across the street). There were over 900 attendees and it was an excellent conference.
Our presentation focused on the idea of using open source software with closed source software and the presentation highlights the success we have had in using this hybrid approach.
After we gave our presentation, I was approached by an audience member that was the original author of the AgsJSAdapter that we talked about in our presentation.
We have made several changes to the adapter to remove the dependency on the ESRI ArcGIS Server JavaScript API and we’ll try to get the changes posted back for others to use.

I have also uploaded a previous presentation that we gave at GIS in the Rockies 2011 that goes more into the mechanics of building maps as distributed JavaScript widgets.
