Advanced Google Maps API Programming Building on the concepts learned in the Introduction to the Google Maps API course, this course covers advanced concepts and techniques for the
Maps API. This course covers a lot of ground, starting
with the Google Maps Utility classes. Utility classes are special
purposes objects including MarkerManager for managing large numbers of
markers efficiently. MarkerClusterer also helps manage large
concentrations of markers by aggregating neighboring markers into a
single marker typically labeled with the number of markers represented
by the symbol. Other utility classes that are covered include
ProgressBar for displaying progress information of long running
functions, ExtInfoWindow for custom info windows, and many others. One
of the more important and interesting topics in this class is the
creation of your own custom data layers that can be draped on top of
Google Maps. You'll also learn how to determine your users current
location through GPS or IP Address. Furthermore, the course explores some
advanced geocoding techniques, learn how to read JSON format data
files, examine performance considerations for your application, preview
the new Google Maps 3, and wrap up with an overview of the Google Maps
Data API and tips and tricks.

Building Rich Google Maps User Interfaces with DojoThis course was designed as a supplement to the Introduction to the Google Maps API and Advanced Google Maps API Programming courses. Dojo is an excellent JavaScript framework for creating rich
Internet applications. Dojo is composed of three projects including
Dojo Base and Core, Dijits, and DojoX. Many web application developers
choose Dojo because of the rich user interface controls provided by
Dijit and DojoX. However, Dojo is much more than a JavaScript user
interface toolkit. Dojo handles browser normalization, fixes browser
compatibilities, DOM querying, remote scripting, drag and drop, data
store API, localization and internationalization, cookie handling,
accessibility, and more. One of the most common requirements of a
Google Maps application is to plot points of interest (markers) on a
map. In this course you will learn how to use the Dojo Data API to read
point data from XML, JSON, and CSV format data files and plot them on a
Google Map. And of course the wonderful user interface
controls provided by Dijit and DojoX will not be neglected. The course also looks at form and
layout controls, Tree, DataGrid, charting, and image display controls.

Debugging Google Maps Applications with Firefox and FirebugThis course was designed as a supplement to the Introduction to the Google Maps API and Advanced Google Maps API Programming
courses. The Google Maps API contains a handy debugging window that you
can use to display messages and errors. However, there are times when
you will need a more robust debugging tool. In this module you will
learn how to use Firebug with Firefox to debug and optimize your web
applications. Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web
development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit,
debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
Firebug contains a great debugger for examining your JavaScript code.
With the debugger you can pause code execution through breakpoints,
examine variable contents at the breakpoint, continue code execution,
step into a JavaScript function one line at a time, and step over and
step out of code blocks. The debugging toolbar is accessed through the
Script tab and is activated after you have set a breakpoint in your
code and execution reaches the breakpoint. This debugging toolbar is a
revelation for long time web application developers and makes your
development efforts much more efficient. Download for US$45.00 CD-ROM for US$55.00

Creating Mapplets with Google GadgetsMapplets are widgets or mini-applications that are served inside the Google Maps site. You can put anything inside this mini-webpage that you can put into a normal webpage, including HTML, JavaScript, and Flash. Google provides a JavaScript API that gives the Mapplet access to services such as manipulating the map, fetching remote data, and storing user preferences.

Building Web Based Google Earth ApplicationsThe Google Earth JavaScript API and Plug-in let you embed Google Earth
into your web pages. Using the API you can draw markers, lines, and
polygons, drape images over the terrain, add 3D models, or load KML
files, allowing you to build sophisticated 3D map applications. You can
also embed the 3D digital globe into your existing Google Maps
applications. Purchase Options: Download for US$60.00 CD-ROM for US$75.00 Mastering KML in Google EarthKML
is an XML based file format used to display geographic data in Google
Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for Mobile. Data displayed in
Google Earth is contained in KML files, and in our new e-learning
course you will master the use of KML for creating advanced
applications. Purchase Options: Download for US$60.00 CD-ROM for US$75.00
Arc2Earth for ArcGIS Users
As an ArcGIS extension, Arc2Earth was initially built as a highly
efficient tool for exporting ArcGIS data including the geometric
representations of the data, labels, renderers, graphics, and layouts
into a format that Google Earth understands. However, as you’ll see,
Arc2Earth has evolved into more than just an ArcGIS data export tool
for Google Earth. In addition to all the great export functionality
you can also import KML/KMZ files directly to ArcGIS in geodatabase
format, view raster tiles (aerial and hybrid imagery) provided by
Microsoft, Yahoo, and Ask.com from within ArcMap, export your data as
map tiles to Google Maps and Virtual Earth, publish data to web enabled
viewers, automate exports through the scheduler process, and much more.
