dwr-web-map-resources: A repository from wpears

##So you want to make a web app...

###Join the ArcGIS Server Cadre

Send Wyatt Pearsall your SAP employee number
Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month in 435 Resources at 2pm.
Try to engage at the meetings or over email, both for your benefit and the cadre's.
See https://dwrgis.water.ca.gov/arcgis_server_cadre for more info.

###Publish a Service

Put your data and map in a folder under \\nasgisnp\entgis\cadre
Connect to the GIS Server http://darcgis.water.ca.gov/arcgis as a publisher and share your map as a service (choose cadre as the folder or make your own).
Analyze your map, respond to errors/warnings, tweak your service properties (it's ok to accept the defaults), publish
Your service will be at https://darcgis.water.ca.gov/arcgis/rest/services/ in the folder you chose when publishing

###Create your Application

Make a copy of \\mrsbmapp21161\giswebapps\twopane (or any template) and rename your folder (alternatively, clone the repository at https://github.com/wpears/twopane)
Examine your blank template at http://darcgis.water.ca.gov/app/\[[your folder's name]]
Add your service as a layer in the app by locating the commented-out CheckLayer function call near the end of twopane.js and substituting your service's URL as the first argument
Refresh your template page to examine your service

###Go Public

Tell the rest of the ArcGIS Server cadre about your app and allow some time for them to review it (this will help make your app better).
Check with your chain of command that your data is fit to go public.
Contact DWR's Public Affairs Office, sending a link to your development app and informing them you have cadre and chain of command approval.
Contact an admin (like me) saying you've done the last three steps and want to push your app to the public.

ArcGIS Online? Portal?

These can be good options (particularly if you need something fast) but have a monetary and administrative cost
Portal's star may rise once 10.3 is released. Stay tuned.

##I need an app now and have no one who can build it
