Objects

To create a new object, use the new keyword followed by a call to a constructor function. Javascript provides the Object() constructor out-of-the-box:

var toilet = new Object();

Properties

Once you have an object, you can set and get properties on it, like this:

# Bulk convert shapefiles to geojson using ogr2ogr
# For more information, see http://ben.balter.com/2013/06/26/how-to-convert-shapefiles-to-geojson-for-use-on-github/

# Note: Assumes you're in a folder with one or more zip files containing shape files
# and Outputs as geojson with the crs:84 SRS (for use on GitHub or elsewhere)

#geojson conversion
function shp2geojson() {
  ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -t_srs crs:84 "$1.geojson" "$1.shp"
}

 But the focus has been desktop users, not addressing the shift towards web maps and people 
 using it in “non-conventional” ways. But my belief is cost to build the data is 
 returned when users actually start using it, so let’s look to ALL the users.
 
 
 Reason for geojson:
 
 Aaron: 
 it is plain text (not binary like shapefile
 json is a native format that is easily consumable by Javascript... which is more and more popular

WORK FLOW:Convert Shape files into GeoJSON using GDAl library
Two step process. 
Step 1.Convert Data in WGS 84 projection --> 2. Convert shp into Geojson using ogr2ogr

STEP 1. Make sure your data is in EPSG 4326 (Geographic projection WGS 84) is NOT Web Mercator projection
(most commonly used projection that can be use to post onto GitHub page is web mercator is EPSG:3857).

Before geoJSON conversion, make sure data isn't in WGS 84 projection already by checking for projection meta using ogrinfo command.
Convert WA State Plane EPSG 2926 to WGS 84 - EPSG 4326 (Geographic Projection WGS 84)
	--Use ogrinfo to check the projection of data, example : sewer.shp

EPSG: 4326 uses a coordinate system on the surface of a sphere or ellipsoid of reference.
WGS 84 - Earth as Geoid. -Mercator

EPSG: 3857 uses a coordinate system PROJECTED from the surface of the 
sphere. Earth as perfectly sphere. -Web Mercator

Think of it as this way:

EPSG 4326 uses a coordinate system the same as a GLOBE (curved surface). 
EPSG 3857 uses a coordinate system the same as a MAP (flat surface).

1. Install Anaconda to get your python 2.7.
2. Install .Net Framework - dotNetFx45_Full_setup.exe
3. Uninstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 instances.
4. Install the Microsoft SDK - winsdk_web.exe  #http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
5. Install Node.js - http://nodejs.org/download/
6. Open your command prompt as an administrator 
  >Start
  >"cmd" in Search for All Programs
  >Ctrl-RightClick on CMD and "Run as Administrator"
7. Set your environment for the SDK (this was tricky to figure out!)

Using GitHub
 
1.Sign up for Github - make yourself an account with a cool name!
 
2. Start - from your GitHub account, create a new repositiories by clicking Tab then click "New" green button. Or you can "fork" (dirty sounding, isn't it?) from someone elses page.  This is like making your own copy. Under this Repository, you can create multiple files by clicking plus button next to your repository(folder) name.
 
3. Give a name that will becomes your repository(repo), equalvent to "directory folder in explorer".
 
4. After creating account and repository, you need to download actual git in your local machine or you can start with the link.
