4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a one of a kind book with rooms for improvement.,
This review is from: GIS Online: Information Retrieval, Mapping, and the Internet (Paperback)
This is probably the first book dedicated to this subject. For this reason it deserves a four star rating. It is written in a way that is very appropriate for development managers and users of Web GIS systems. It does not require a lot of technological know-how. It also has a lot of web links that serve the purpose of intruducing people to the idea of GIS online.However, this book is not very suitable for the technicians who actually make the web GIS. It does not have enough discussion on the related programming issues, namely, Java and Markup Languages. Its discussion on over-all system planning is also quite superficial from a programmer's point of view. Issues like how to make web GIS co-exists with other database systems (accounting, inventory control, etc.) are not discussed.

Very pleased with the material,
By couchf@rmi.net (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GIS Online: Information Retrieval, Mapping, and the Internet (Paperback)
Being new to DGIS, I was very pleased to find a "starters" book that also has resources for anyone who has 'net-savy'. I found the book to be chucked full of resources, ideas, and steps to implement a DGIS. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in such a dynamic subject.
