The best way to kick-start your project

This on-site two-day course is designed to give developers a thorough understanding of the Carmenta Engine toolkit. By combining important theory with plenty of hands-on exercises, it ensures that attendees leave the course fully ready to tackle real-world problems.

It is the most cost-effective first step for any professional development team to get started using Carmenta Engine.

What you will learn

There are several important elements that need to come together to make a great high-performance map application. This is of course particularly true for complex systems like the ones in which Carmenta Engine is typically used.

Developers of such systems face a number of challenges. They need to ensure that their applications are responsive and easy to interact with, but also that they are flexible in their support for different geographical data formats.

In addition to this, most applications handle real-time data that needs to be quickly and accurately visualized in the map as well as in other parts of the application user interface.

This course teaches developers how to handle these and many other challenges. Our instructors are all experienced developers who have used Carmenta Engine to build real-world applications and are also familiar with the internal workings of the toolkit itself.

Who should attend

The course is primarily designed for software developers. Participants are not required to know anything about Carmenta Engine, or indeed about geospatial application development. The programming exercises use C# .Net or native C++ and Qt on Windows or Linux. Please inform us about your preferred platform when you register. Previous experience of the environment is useful, but not required.
