This book was inspired by my grandson, Leo. Leo lives about an hour from here in Ferndale, Michigan. I live in the country and have a few acres of grass to mow that requires a large mower. Hence the lawn tractor or green tractor as Leo calls it. His first ride lead to another and another. Consequently each time Leo comes here the first thing he asks is, can he ride on the green tractor, "Of course." You're getting the picture by now that it was only natural to write a story about Leo's love of tractors and here it is, The Great Tractor Day, written and illustrated by me, Mick Thompson. Enjoy This the third book I have published and illustrated. The first children's book titled "Zooomun Noomun" was published in 2013. The second, a children's book, written by my wife Betty Thompson and illustrated by me, titled "The Wish Sisters" was published in 2017. All of our books can be purchased on a Amazon.com. Thank you

Today's mobile devices have GPS and standard APIs to give you access to coordinates - but what can you do with that data? With this concise book, application developers learn how to work with location data quickly and easily, using Node.js, CouchDB, and other open source tools and libraries. Node.js makes it simple to run event code on the Web, and the CouchDB document-oriented database lets you store location data and perform complex queries on it quickly. You'll learn how to get started with these tools, and then use them together to build an example project called MapChat, using HTML and JavaScript code samples. * Learn how to serve dynamic content with Node.js, and use its asynchronous IO to handle several requests at once * Become familiar with GeoJSON, Geohash, and the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) for working with spatial data * Build geospatial indexes using the GeoCouch branch of CouchDB * Combine these tools to build a project that lets users post real-time chat messages tagged with their current map location
