Description
This book is a practical, hands-on guide that provides you with all the information you need to get started with mapping using the OpenLayers 3 library.
The book starts off by showing you how to create a simple map. Through the course of the book, we will review each component needed to make a map in OpenLayers 3, and you will end up with a full-fledged web map application. You will learn the key role of each OpenLayers 3 component in making a map, and important mapping principles such as projections and layers. You will create your own data files and connect to backend servers for mapping. A key part of this book will also be dedicated to building a mapping application for mobile devices and its specific components.
Who This Book Is For
Whether you are a hobbyist or a professional web developer, if you wish to use maps on your website, then this book is for you. A basic understanding of JavaScript will be helpful, but is not necessary. If you’ve never worked with maps before, this book will introduce you to some common mapping topics and will guide you through the OpenLayers library. Experienced developers can also use this book as a reference to OpenLayers 3 components and to further enhance their knowledge.
What You Will Learn
Build a complete, real-world OpenLayers application optimized for production use
Work with different raster data sources to create a base map
Overlay vector data sources and work with vector features directly
Customize the appearance of vector layers
Understand the concept of map projections and how to use them
Manage and work with interactions such as click and touch
Work with controls to enhance the user experience
Target mobile platforms and explore challenges presented by mobile development
