Steven Citron Pousty (Red Hat Openshift) interviewed at Fluent 2014
summary
Demo shows building quick web maps by sending JSON from Express to Leaflet + OpenStreetMap, with the server returns points inside bounding box pattern so the client just drops pins. Examples include a dataset of historic trees in Spain and a USGS river‑gauge viewer that shows graphs — both built in days, one by a non‑developer. Mobile‑ready Leaflet handles display, Node/Express handles simple REST data, and the interview flags rising client‑side mapping (D3) plus the risk of “just‑enough” mapping mistakes.
