The book begins with a series of fundamental examples to help you quickly gain familiarity with the API. Then you’ll soon be building highly interactive and dynamic mapping applications with the help of the PHP scripting language. You’ll learn how to “tag” and interact with maps in order to foster a community-driven experience. And you will discover how to take advantage of third-party geocoding services such as Yahoo geocoding and geocoder.us, as well as use the U.S. Census Bureau’s TIGER/Line data to host the service internally.
