Book Description

Through this practical and accessible guide, you will learn how to build mobile applications using ArcGIS Server from scratch. You will start by covering the differences between mobile web and traditional web development. Factors such as the range of devices, design and layout, functionality, and performance considerations all make mobile development unique.

You will then move on to cover key JavaScript frameworks and libraries for mobile development and cover important structures and concepts including Dojo, responsive design, and the geolocation API, walking through developing your first ArcGIS mobile application in the process. Screenshots, tips, and code are provided clearly throughout to help you through the development process.

Finishing with advanced topics and best practices such as ArcGIS online and PhoneGap, you will finish the book with a complete mobile application and a solid foundation to develop mobile ArcGIS apps.
