About This Book
ArcGIS allows users to create rich maps and applications that interact with services hosted on ArcGIS for Server and ArcGIS Online. This book will help you to understand the ArcGIS JavaScript API in a fun way while building a real-life project.
This book revolves around a fictional project called Bestaurants. The journey starts with a description of the project requirements before moving on to designing and sketching an interface of what the website will look like. Then, gradually with each chapter, you will add a single functionality until the full ArcGIS application is completed.
By the end of this book, you will have built an entire ArcGIS web application from scratch. An additional bonus appendix is included on how to build ArcGIS applications with ArcGIS Online–a new and extremely useful service offered by Esri.

About the Author
Hussein Nasser is an Esri award-winning senior GIS solution architect at Electricity and Water Authority, Bahrain. He is the author of two books on ArcGIS, Administering ArcGIS for Server and Learning ArcGIS Geodatabases, both published by Packt Publishing. In 2007, Hussein won the first place in the annual ArcGIS Server Code Challenge conducted at the Esri Developer Summit in Palm Springs, California, for using AJAX technology with ArcGIS for Server, which was not implemented back then. After his 8-year career as a GIS Architect in the leading Middle Eastern Engineering company, Khatib & Alami, where he spent time implementing various utility GIS systems based on Esri technology across the Middle East, Hussein decided to move to a more focused environment in Electricity and Water Authority back in Bahrain, his homeland. Here he can channel his expertise to develop a robust GIS utility solution that is fully integrated with the eGovernment project, which will help Bahrain march towards the smart grid. Beyond GIS, Hussein is fascinated by acute research topics; some of the papers he is currently working on are The Human API: A Software Interface to Prevent Cancer, Global Economic Crisis and Natural Disasters Quantum Detector, and Stock Market change with the Moon Phases.
