DESCRIPTION

The new ArcGIS web tools unshackle GIS applications from dedicated workstations so they can be scaled out to remote computers and mobile devices where they can provide the greatest value. Experienced ArcGIS developers will find that the familiar development environment provides a smooth transition to creating this new class of powerful and flexible GIS applications.

ArcGIS Web Development is an example-rich tutorial designed to teach developers how to use the ArcGIS JavaScript API to build custom GIS web applications. It begins with easy to follow examples that introduce the ArcGIS JavaScript API and shows how to apply simple customizations. As the book progresses, it guides readers through the creation of a larger, full-scale, web mapping application. Along the way, readers will learn how to blend the best practices of traditional GIS development with web application designs that work on standard screens as well as tablets and phones.
