| Izvleček: | This book started out as an idea in spring 2009. I had written quite a few articles and tutorials about the
Google Maps API v2 and thought that I could reuse them to write a book. That shouldn’t take too long, I
thought. Shortly after, during Google I/O 2009, Google announced that it was releasing version 3 of the
API. This release was a total remake of the old one, and I soon realized that I now had to write a book
about this version instead. This rendered my intital plan to reuse my old articles completely useless. I
also had to learn the new API; it was, after all, a complete remake. In retrospect, I’m glad that I did. The
new API has a much cleanear programming interface and is more well structured than the old one. It
just feels better to program with. And now that the book is being published, version 2 is deprecated,
and version 3 is the recommended alternative for new map applications.
Writing this book became a bigger undertaking than I first anticipated, but it has also been a lot
more fun and interesting journey than I expected (even if I’ve despaired at times). Writing this, my
first book, has been a learning experience. When I started the project, I had no clue how to go about it. I
didn’t now how to get it published or how to structure it. But it all somehow unfolded as the work
progressed, and here I am now, with a finished book. |
