This book helps you understand and use Web GIS, a powerful mapping technology that is transforming the way we apply and share geographic information. Each "big idea" is part of the ArcGIS platform and it's big because it empowers you, enabling you to do new things and to accomplish familiar tasks more quickly and with ease.
