Who This Book Is For

This book caters to long-term users of Esri's technologies that are new to mobile development or are transitioning from older Esri technologies such as ArcGIS Engine. It is also for users who are unfamiliar with Esri or GIS and are in need of a mapping solution for either their desktop or a mobile platform, or both. The book requires knowledge of .NET.

What You Will Learn

• Understand and implement the MVVM pattern using MVVM Light
• Create and add layers from offline and online resources such as ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS for Server
• Create a 2D or 3D map and decide what kind of symbology to use
• Symbolize the layers based on the geometry
• Search and find objects in the layers
• Geocode an address and create a route using an address
• Edit layer objects from online content and offline content
• Test the application using test-driven development and then build and release the application for the intended audience

In Detail

ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) that enables you to work with maps and geographic information. It can be used to create and utilize maps, compile geographic data, analyze mapped information, share and discover geographic information and manage geographic information in a database.

This book starts by showing you where ArcGIS Runtime fits within Esri's overall platform strategy. You'll create an initial map using the SDK, then use it to get an understanding of the MVVM model. You'll find out about the different kinds of layers and start adding layers, and you'll learn to transform maps into a 3D scene.

The next chapters will help you comprehend and extract information contained in the maps using co-ordinates and layer objects. Towards the end, you will learn to set the symbology, decide whether to use 2D or 3D, see how to implement 2D or 3D, and learn to search and find objects. You'll also get to grips with many other standard features of the Application Programming Interface (API), including create applications and finally testing, licensing, and deploying them. Once completed, you will be able to meet most of the common requirements of any mapping application for desktop or mobile platforms.

Style and approach

This comprehensive book takes a completely practical approach, where every chapter explains the important concepts and demonstrates a practical application of them in a hands-on manner.

Autor

Ron Vincent was born and brought up in South Wales by a German mother and English father. After completing his secondary school education in Wales, he moved to Nottingham after gaining a place at university. In 1977, he graduated with honours in German and Philosophy and embarked on a career in sales and business consulting that was to last for almost 30 years. From an early age, Ron was fascinated with his German/Jewish background and gradually became more and more curious about what his mother and her family had experienced during the Holocaust and in the years following the Second World War. In 2007, he settled permanently in Germany and, having decided to move out of the commercial sector, returned to his first love of teaching and is still actively working in this area, although he is now semi-retired. In 2019, he became a German citizen. Always passionate about writing and the English language, he succeeded in getting some of his poetry published whilst still a teenager. In addition to poetry, he has also written a number of short stories and, over the years, has contributed numerous articles to both local and national newspapers. In addition to completing 'The House on Thrömerstrasse', he has also been working on his autobiography which is now nearing completion and has begun conducting the research for a second Holocaust memoir which he expects to complete during 2022. In addition to his passion for writing, Ron is an accomplished pianist who has enjoyed a lifelong love-affair with all kinds of music and, for many years, played publicly in restaurants and at social and business functions. He has never lost interest in philosophy, still reads extensively and is particularly interested in the themes of personal identity, ethics and the connection between social behaviour and spirituality. He is married and has a grown-up son and daughter, both of whom live in the UK.
