Mike Pumphrey, OpenGeo 8 September, 2010 Styler: Graphical SLD (at last!)
Maps are cool…
Thinks logically Thinks visually …but not always easy to design
Thinks logically Is out of luck Most map tools are programmatic
Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) (SLD doesn’t have a logo, so I used the OGC one)
Who uses SLD? OpenLayers
Will I be talking about SE/SLD 1.1? (Well, not today)
SLD is great!

What if there were an easier way to design maps?
