You will need Java Script programming experience to get the most out of this book. Although designed as an introductory to intermediate level book, it will also be useful for more advanced developers who are new to the topic of developing applications with ArcGIS Server. What You Will Learn * To create an application with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript * Build and display a broad range of different geometry types to represent features on the map * The best way to leverage a feature layer and display related attribute data * The functionality of the wide range of widgets and how to use them effectively * Query data to gain new insights into the information it contains * Work with tasks to discover and locate features on the map * Using the geocoder and associated widgets * The ability of the API to provide turn by turn directions and routing capabilities * How to use the Geometry Engine and Geometry Service tasks for common geoprocessing operations * Integrate content on ArcGIS online and add it to your custom web mapping application In Detail The ArcGIS API for JavaScript enables you to quickly build web and mobile mapping applications that include sophisticated GIS capabilities, yet are easy and intuitive for the user. Aimed at both new and experienced web developers, this practical guide gives you everything you need to get started with the API. After a brief introduction to HTML/CSS/JavaScript, you'll embed maps in a web page, add the tiled, dynamic, and streaming data layers that your users will interact with, and mark up the map with graphics. You will learn how to quickly incorporate a broad range of useful user interface elements and GIS functionality to your application with minimal effort using prebuilt widgets. As the book progresses, you will discover and use the task framework to query layers with spatial and attribute criteria, search for and identify features on the map, geocode addresses, perform network analysis and routing, and add custom geoprocessing operations. Along the way, we cover exciting new features such as the client-side geometry engine, learn how to integrate content from ArcGIS.com, and use your new skills to build mobile web mapping applications. We conclude with a look at version 4 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript (which is being developed in parallel with version 3.x) and what it means for you as a developer. Style and approach Readers will be taken through a series of exercises that will demonstrate how to efficiently build ArcGIS Server applications for the mobile and web.

Pattern Analysis and cluster mapping made easy About This Book * Analyze patterns, clusters, and spatial relationships using ArcGIS tools * Get up to speed in R programming to create custom tools for analysis * Sift through tons of crime and real estate data and analyze it using the tools built in the book Who This Book Is For This book is for ArcGIS developers who want to perform complex geographic analysis through the use of spatial statistics tools including ArcGIS and R. No knowledge of R is assumed. What You Will Learn * Get to know how to measure geographic distributions * Perform clustering analysis including hot spot and outlier analysis * Conduct data conversion tasks using the Utilities toolset * Understand how to use the tools provided by the Mapping Clusters toolset in the Spatial Statistics Toolbox * Get to grips with the basics of R for performing spatial statistical programming * Create custom ArcGIS tools with R and ArcGIS Bridge * Understand the application of Spatial Statistics tools and the R programming language through case studies In Detail Spatial statistics has the potential to provide insight that is not otherwise available through traditional GIS tools. This book is designed to introduce you to the use of spatial statistics so you can solve complex geographic analysis. The book begins by introducing you to the many spatial statistics tools available in ArcGIS. You will learn how to analyze patterns, map clusters, and model spatial relationships with these tools. Further on, you will explore how to extend the spatial statistics tools currently available in ArcGIS, and use the R programming language to create custom tools in ArcGIS through the ArcGIS Bridge using real-world examples. At the end of the book, you will be presented with two exciting case studies where you will be able to practically apply all your learning to analyze and gain insights into real estate data. Style and approach Filled with live examples that you can code along with, this book will show you different methods and techniques to effectively analyze spatial data with ArcGIS and the R language. The exciting case studies at the end will help you immediately put your learning to practice.

Explore the robust features of Python to create real-world ArcGIS applications through exciting, hands-on projects About This Book * Get to grips with the big world of Python add-ins and wxPython in GUI development to implement their features in your application * Integrate advanced Python libraries, ArcPy mapping, and data access module techniques to develop a mapping application * Construct a top-notch intermediate-to-advanced project by accessing ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online resources through the ArcGIS REST API using a project-based approach Who This Book Is For If you have prior experience building simple apps with ArcGIS and now have a fancy for developing a more challenging and complex desktop application in ArcGIS, then this book is ideal for you. What You Will Learn * Automate the creation of creative output data visualizations including maps, charts, and graphs * Explore ways to use the ArcPy Mapping module and Data-driven Pages to automate the creation of map books in your own project * Develop applications that use the Plotly platform and library to create stunning charts and graphs that can be integrated into ArcGIS Desktop * Build tools that access REST services and download data to a local geodatabase * Design, build, and integrate advanced GUIs with wxPython and ArcGIS Desktop in ArcGIS * Get clued up about constructing applications that export data to Google Earth Pro to automate time-consuming complex processes * Maximize the access of ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online using the ArcGIS REST API with Python In Detail This book is an immersive guide to take your ArcGIS Desktop application development skills to the next level It starts off by providing detailed description and examples of how to create ArcGIS Desktop Python toolboxes that will serve as containers for many of the applications that you will build. We provide several practical projects that involve building a local area/community map and extracting wildfire data. You will then learn how to build tools that can access data from ArcGIS Server using the ArcGIS REST API. Furthermore, we deal with the integration of additional open source Python libraries into your applications, which will help you chart and graph advanced GUI development; read and write JSON, CSV, and XML format data sources; write outputs to Google Earth Pro, and more. Along the way, you will be introduced to advanced ArcPy Mapping and ArcPy Data Access module techniques and use data-driven Pages to automate the creation of map books. Finally, you will learn advanced techniques to work with video and social media feeds. By the end of the book, you will have your own desktop application without having spent too much time learning sophisticated theory. Style and approach This is an easy-to-follow, project-based guide that guides you through the whole ArcGIS theme with practical, real-world examples and a systematic approach.
