Industry Reviews

"...readers should be warned that this book is definitely not for the faint hearted. Readers will need a passing knowledge of a number of programming languages as well as an understanding of web technology. For those willing to rise to the challenge, the rewards in harnessing the power of Google Maps to your own websites could be enormous." - John Bryant, BJHC & IM, November 2006
