Hello Mathew, Nice to meet you and great to hear this project is of interest.
In my opinion, understanding of good programming practices and design is more important than specific language issues which can be learned as you code. The structure of Java is similar to Javascript which will give you a good start. Probably the best way to start is to read some tutorials and have a look at the code in existing applications. (Things like inheritance are done differently in javascript). Understanding XSL will be beneficial for the Mapbuilder parts of this project. http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/Documentation http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/Developers+Guide http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/Tutorials (Plenty of pages here, I don't suggest you read them all yet) Tharindu Mathew wrote: > Hi, > > I'm interested in this project and is looking for an oppurtunity to > learn the technologies associated with this project.
