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.
