Resources for “Google Maps”
April 25th, 2006 by Reuven M. Lerner in
All of the code in this month's column was written using a combination of JavaScript and XHTML. If you are unfamiliar with JavaScript, you might want to look at David Flanagan's JavaScript: The Definitiv e Guide, published by O'Reilly. The XHTML is surprisingly readable an d includes many comments and examples of use to developers. You can read it at www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1.
For more information about Google Maps, refer to the Google Maps API site at www.google.com/apis/maps. You also will need to go to that site to get a key, if you decide to sign up for the service.
A short book on the subject, called Pragmatic Google Maps, was written by Scott Davis and published by Pragmatic Programmers (pragmaticprogrammers.com). It contains a lot of good advice for working with Google Maps and puts much of the API documentation into perspective.

If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
