Class Description

Class Overview

Students taking this course will learn how to incorporate Google maps into their own web applications. The Google Maps API allows you to easily create mashups, which combine your own data with graphical maps. The API gives you the ability to add the "where" to your web application. Best of all, it's all free.

Class Goals

  • Learn to code using the Google Maps API
  • Learn to add your own data to Google maps
  • Learn to draw maps, annotations, and routes
  • Learn to respond to button clicks, dragging, and zooming operations
  • Learn to use the geocoder web service to determine latitudes and longitudes
  • Learn to build Ajax mapping applications
