Learn state-of-the-art skills to build compelling, useful, and fun Web GIS apps easily, with no programming experience required.

Building on the foundation of the previous three editions, Getting to Know Web GIS, fourth edition, features the latest advances in Esri’s entire Web GIS platform, from the cloud server side to the client side.

Discover and apply what’s new in ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, Map Viewer, Esri StoryMaps, Web AppBuilder, Survey123, and more.
Learn about recent Web GIS products such as ArcGIS Experience Builder, ArcGIS Indoors, and ArcGIS QuickCapture. Understand updates in mobile GIS such as ArcGIS Collector and AuGeo, and then build your own web apps.
Further your knowledge and skills with detailed sections and chapters on ArcGIS Dashboards, ArcGIS Analytics for the Internet of Things (Iot), online spatial analysis, ArcGIS Notebooks, image services, 3D web scenes, ArcGIS API for javascript, and best practices in Web GIS. Follow extended discussions about Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and IoT in the context of Web GIS.

Programming is required for enhancing existing software products, creating new ones, and transforming the creative ideas in your mind into realities. In previous chapters, you learned to create web apps using various configurable app templates and app builders. These apps provide tremendous functionality, but they may not meet all your project requirements. In such cases, you must program your own apps or customize existing web apps. Web GIS programming can be accomplished at the client-browser side, the web server side, and the database side, depending on your actual needs. The chapter 10 focuses on browser-side programing with javascript, the most popular programming language on the web today. Built on top of javascript, ArcGIS API for javascript provides libraries for you to add GIS capabilities in javascript apps. In this chapter, you will learn the basics of javascript API, the essential skills to debug javascript, and the general workflows to adapt javascript samples, handle events, and incorporate widgets and tasks.

Each chapter is written for immediate productivity with a good balance of principles and hands-on exercises and includes:

A conceptual discussion section to give you the big picture and principles,
A detailed tutorial section with step-by-step instructions,
A Q/A section to answer common questions,
An assignment section to reinforce your comprehension, and
A list of resources with more information.

Ideal for classroom lab work and on-the-job training for GIS students, instructors, GIS analysts, managers, web developers, and other professionals, Getting to Know Web GIS, fourth edition, uses a holistic approach to systematically teach the breadth of the Esri Geospatial Cloud.
