Learn To Create Mashups Using The New ArcGIS 9.3 JavaScript APIs From ESRI

ESRI will be holding a free live training seminar this month on how to use the new ArcGIS 9.3 JavaScript APIs to build some great applications.

The JavaScript API is hosted by ESRI  and is freely available to users to build mashups and other online applications. ESRI also offers free extensions to Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth allowing users to create mashups of their own data which is being served up by ArcGIS Server and the new REST API.

ESRI will offer a complimentary Web seminar this month on how to use the new ArcGIS JavaScript APIs to build high-performance, easy-to-use online mapping applications.

The live training seminar Building Mashups Using the ArcGIS JavaScript APIs will air on ESRI’s Training and Education Web site at www.esri.com/lts on July 31, 2008, at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m. (Pacific daylight time)

The presenter will take users through some of the basics including the concept of a mashup which will be good for users that are not familiar with this. Some of the other topics include:

The seminar will demonstrate how to build mashup applications using the ArcGIS JavaScript APIs by walking through online samples in the software development kit (SDK.)  

The presenter will discuss

• The concept of a mashup
• The ArcGIS JavaScript API
• The ArcGIS JavaScript API extensions: The ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for Microsoft Virtual Earth and the ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for the Google Maps API

This seminar is geared toward Web application developers who want to create mashups using the ArcGIS JavaScript APIs. Attendees do not need to be highly experienced programmers. Only a basic understanding of HTML and some familiarity with JavaScript are expected. 

Remember to bookmark the dates. You will need a ESRI Global Account to watch the live training seminar. More details for this can be found on the ESRI Training and Education Web site here: http://training.esri.com/campus/…
