by Shekhar Gulati (speaking)
Objective
1) Learn how to use MongoDB spatial capabilities to build location aware applications
2) Learn about OpenShift platform as a Service and how deploy your Python apps on it.
Description
Spatial is a hot topic for all sorts of developers and MongoDB offers an easy way to get started. MongoDB enables search and checkin type applications - ranging from field resource management to social check-in applications. We are going to show you how easy it is to add spatial functionality to your application using MongoDB. In this session we will load up a spatial database and then create a REST web services, using a straight Python Mongo driver and Flask, that let your web or mobile application take advantage of the spatial functionality in MongoDB. Our application will be hosted on OpenShift - Red Hat's PaaS that provides multiple language development and native MongoDB hosting. By the end of this session, you will be ready to go home and start using MongoDB to add some great spatial functionality to your Python Application.
