\"Beginning

The Google Maps API remains one of the showcase examples of the Web 2.0 development paradigm, making it fairly trivial for third-party developers to incorporate dynamic mapping services into Web applications. In fact, interest in the Google service is so strong that it arguably sparked the mashup phenomenon, along with a number of websites such as http:\/\/www.gmapsmania.com intended to highlight some of the exciting applications developers are building using the mapping API in conjunction with a variety of other data sources.<\/P>

Beginning Google Maps Applications with Rails and Ajax is the first book to comprehensively introduce the service from a developer-perspective, showing readers how they can integrate mapping features into their Rails-driven Web applications.<\/P>

Proceeding far beyond simplistic map display, readers are shown how to draw upon a variety of data sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s TIGER\/Line data and Google’s own geocoding feature to build comprehensive geocoding services for mapping many locations around the world.<\/P>

Readers are also guided through various examples demonstrating how to encourage user interaction such as pinpointing map locations, adding comments, and building community-driven maps.<\/P><\/p>\n
