Flash in Local Gov Websites

One of the projects I assign my students is a report on a Web mapping format. They detail its structure, how it’s used and demo an app that uses it. The Flash implementations they’ve found have always been in newspapers or other publicly facing sites and the apps were rather “simple.”

So, I was pleased to see the local paper touting an update to the Morris County, NJ mapping site. While the article doesn’t mention any technology, the client side is Flash; I can’t be sure of the back end. It’s a quite complex app, the kind I’ve not seen implemented in Flash. It must be pretty slick; it was named site of the day by Adobe earlier this year. Do be warned: you may need to read the help to use the site!
