Starting at whatever level, and then expanding in the direction of the
questions makes a lot of sense.

I agree entirely. That was just a very quick example off the top of my head.
Ideally, it would be an introduction from the base level thru to the nerd level
we like :-)
definition of latitude/longitude
-
different map standards
-
-equations to convert between different mapping standards
-code -perl
-C
-java
-shell script
-awk
what is geocoding
-
etc
Generally speaking, I'd imagine we'd probably start at the nerd level and work
back when people asked questions that we thought were obvious :-)

Hi Darryl,
I'd love it if it included a hire level of abstraction. Like
'Generating a waypoint' is a good pattern, but it is a sub pattern of
the more general patterns of 'tracking your position' or 'marking
points of interest' or some such.
A lot of folks, speaking from personal experience, are starting way
before what a lot of us now consider 'baseline.'
Cheers,
Rich
