 | Apress Beginning Google Maps Applications With PHP And AjaxDate: 14 May 2007 | Regal| |
  Until
recently, building interactive web-based mapping applications has been
a cumbersome affair. This changed when Google released its powerful
Maps API. Beginning Google Maps Applications with PHP and Ajax was
written to help you take advantage of this technology in your own
endeavors--whether you're an enthusiast playing for fun or a
professional building for profit. This book covers version 2 of the
API, including Google's new Geocoding service.Authors Jeffrey Sambells, Cameron Turner, and Michael Purvis get rolling with examples that require hardly any code at all, but you'll quickly become acquainted with many facets of the Maps API. They demonstrate powerful methods for simultaneously plotting large data sets, creating your own map overlays, and harvesting and geocoding sets of addresses. You'll see how to set up alternative tile sets and where to access imagery to use for them. The authors even show you how to build your own geocoder from scratch, for those high-volume batch jobs.
As well as providing hands-on examples of real mapping projects, this
book supplies a complete reference for the Maps API, along with the
relevant aspects of JavaScript, CSS, PHP, and SQL. Visit the authors'
website for additional tips and advice. Product Details Paperback: 350 pages Publisher: Apress (August 14, 2006) Language: English ISBN-10: 1590597079 ISBN-13: 978-1590597071 TYPE : PDF LANG : English PAGE : 383 Download 15.5 MB  |
