Building Mobile ArcGIS Server Applications

Introduction

Mobile application development has reached a fever pitch, and if your organization doesn’t have a mobile app… well then you’re behind the times, right? Not really, but there are an every increasing number of mobile applications being developed, particularly for GIS applications.

Mobile applications are applications that run on mobile devices such as your handheld phone handset, your tablet, or some other widget that is considered a mobile device.  Mobile applications aren’t so different from regular applications – except they run on exotic operating platforms like Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android, HP’s WebOS, Microsoft’s Window 7 Phone, or the BlackBerry platform… and there are certainly others out there.  With such a wide variety of platforms there come a wide variety of language support and capabilities – each with their own unique quirks and challenges.

This course will teach you how to build high performance, attractive mobile applications using the lightweight, browser based ArcGIS Server JavaScript API using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and PhoneGap.

Why should you be using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS to develop your mobile (and traditional browser based applications) applications?  Here are just a few reasons.

• Fast and responsive
• Universal front end
• Tablets, phones, and devices
• Offline support and app stores
• Industry momentum

"I have attended a number of instructor lead  training courses offered by ESRI, which are great in their own right, but the Mastering the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API course gets much more in-depth than they often do.  I really liked the recommended reading, they helped expand the terms being covered in lecture to concrete examples that could be related back to my work more directly instead of just having the lecture and exercises alone.  I learned a lot andwill recommend this and other GeoSpatial Training courses to the GIS'ers I know. Thanks for putting this course together and offering it ...
