Hi there,
I am newbie and looking to develop an offline navigator based on the
shapefiles. So far I have been able to render shapefiles in WPF (.Net
framework 4.0), but now I am trying to use Mapnik for map rendering
(for better performance),
I was able to install it and run the demo application based on python.
My problem is that I am a C# .Net framework developer and doesn't have
much experience with either C or Python. Could you guys direct me to
some starting point. I was able to download the example code in C++
from the following source
_http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/ExampleCode#CCode_
If you are just trying to display a map, I don't think you need to look
at the c++ examples at all.
You just need to know how to install a WMS OSM server for example
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WMS
now I am not sure what IDE to use on Windows, can I use Visual Studio
2010 or is there any specific IDE you could suggest.
Speaking of myself I use mainly eclipse, where you can also install
python and c++ editor plugins to it. Net Beans is very famous too, there
are also other less famous IDE's but I don't know alot about them
Also why do we need Python (is it just for Front End ?).
No also at the backend, either c++/python are used as the backend
server, for tile server for example or to render images
Good luck
Any help is appreciated.
Habib
