You’ll likely notice that pretty much an equal share of the book is dedicated to each of Yahoo!’s Maps APIs. Starting with an intro chapter of the API and its technology, moving on to steps to getting started, then basic and advanced methods of the API. Each section culminates in a mashup with another popular Yahoo! API. The last section works with the AS-Flash API and Flex 2 using Local Connection.
Can’t wait for your book Chuck! Mainly so I can see all the mashup ideas you kept for yourself 😛
The Flex 2 bit should be quite helpful for the time being, eh.
Any chance I’ll be able to get you to sign my copy at the home opener this year?
Colby, your request just may be granted. My publisher is working on some appearances for me. One may not be too far from Yawkey Way.
