Resource Description

Elisa Beshero-Bondar's newtFire project development site features syllabi, tutorials, and example work for a number of courses, and serves as an incubator of learning and research collaboration between scholars and students in the Digital Humanities. New and ongoing projects after 2020 reflect Dr. Beshero-Bondar's Digital Humanities work at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, and several reflect collaborations across multiple institutions. Some projects begun before 2020 are led and maintained by faculty, students, or alumni of the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg.

In addition to these project materials, many explanatory guides on markup technologies are also included, providing instruction, reference, and exercises on topics such as XML, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Git, regular expressions, and various other data structuring schemas.

Resource Description

Locating restaurants in an unfamiliar place, reporting potholes to the local DOT, obtaining real-time traffic conditions... All of these are examples of geospatial web apps that are revolutionizing how people obtain and share information about the world. In GEOG 863, you will learn how to build apps like these. You'll start with a quick look at the fundamentals of web programming (HTML and CSS) before diving in to using JavaScript and a mapping application programming interface (API) developed by Esri. Using this API, you'll create both 2D and 3D visualizations of your own data and learn how to develop a user interface to enable users to interact with your map.
