Wednesday, May 07. 2014PostGIS in Action and PostgreSQL Up and Running 2nd EditionsYou might have noticed I haven't been blogging much lately. Hopefully I can get back to that and updating the BostonGIS tutorials soon. They are embarrassingly dated at this point and I want to add more like using the very cool TileMill, comparisons between Leaflet and OpenLayers, updated comparisons between SQL Server, PostGIS, and Oracle among other content updates. Most of the reason for sluggish pace is that writing has been taking up a good chunk of our time. We are in final stages of two books, both 2nd editions: Both are feature complete, but still undergoing polishing . Hopefully when all is said and done we'll have two books that make great companions for GIS folks working with PostGIS. Both are now available in draft form direct from the publishers and you'll get the final polished version when it comes out. One of the many complaints people had about the PostgreSQL Up and Running 1st edition was that it was too short and lacked an index. This new version has about 45 pages more than the 1st, and also has an index. It covers PostgreSQL 9.2 and 9.3 mostly. We planned to release June 2014, but decided to hold out till August or September so that we can add in more examples of PostgreSQL 9.4 features as they become available and also so that both books would come out around the same time.
