Editorial Reviews

As for new material in this edition, the chapters 5 topics covering tile layers and on premise web GIS, are welcomed additions. As more and more organizations find needs to stand up their own portal instances, on site users will need to learn to navigate the differences between cloud deployments and self-hosted solutions.

From the Publisher

I thought Web GIS was difficult to teach, but your book really made Web GIS easy to teach and fun to learn. I have just taught this course once. My students liked this course, much better than the other courses that I have taught for years.”
