This 200 page revised edition of Microsoft Mapping includes the latest
details about SQL Server 2014 and the new 3D and Streetside-capable map
control for Windows 10 applications. It contains updated chapters on
Microsoft Azure and Power Map for Excel plus a new chapter on Bing Maps
for Universal Windows. The book tells a story, from beginning to end, of
planning and deploying a single geospatial application built using
Microsoft technologies from end-to-end.
Readers are expected to have basic familiarity with the fundamentals of
developing for Microsoft platforms (some understanding of basic SQL, C#,
.NET, and WCF); as readers work through the book they will build on
their existing skills so that they will be able to deploy geospatial
applications for social networking, data collection, enterprise
management, or other purposes.
