The Google Maps API remains one of the showcase examples of the Web 2.0
development paradigm. Beginning Google Maps Applications with Rails and
Ajax: From Novice to Professional is the first book to comprehensively
introduce the service from a developer perspective, showing you how you
can integrate mapping features into your Rails-driven web applications.
Proceeding far beyond simplistic map display, you'll learn how to draw
from a variety of data sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau's
TIGER/Line data and Google's own geocoding feature to build
comprehensive geocoding services for mapping many locations around the
world. The book also steers you through various examples that show how
to encourage user interaction such as through pinpointing map locations,
adding comments, and building community-driven maps. You'll want to pick
up a copy of this book because
- This is the first book to comprehensively introduce the Google Maps
application development using the Rails development framework.
- You'll be introduced to the very latest changes to the Google Maps
API, embodied in the version 2 release.
- It is written by four developers actively involved in the creation
of location-based mapping services. For additional info, please visit
