the ArcGIS JavaScript API.Set a strong foundation for the ArcGIS JavaScript API and modular coding with dojo.Gain a crystal clear understanding of the ArcGIS JavaScript, and become skilled in creating exciting and interesting geospatial apps.Book DescriptionThe book starts by explaining the basics of the ArcGIS web mapping ecosystem. The book walks you through the development of six major applications, covering a wide variety of topics such as querying, rendering, advanced data visualization and performing map analytics. It also emphasizes on writing modular code using pure dojo, which is the preferred platform for developing web GIS applications using ArcGIS JavaScript API.By the end of the book, you will have gained enough practical experience to architect a robust and visually powerful mapping application using the API.
