Full Name: Ian Turton
I'm a researcher at Penn State University in the GeoVISTA group. I work on the development of GeoVISTA Studio (http://www.geovistastudio.psu.edu/jsp/index.jsp) which uses GeoTools. It is a tool for building spatial visualization and analysis tools with out you doing any coding.
I also teach a distance learning course on open source open standard web mapping in which I use GeoServer and uDig as well as MapBuilder.
