James Fee reviews Map Scripting 101 by Adam DuVander (previously). “I was totally turned off by the use of the open source Mapstraction library. But what do you know … I’m a total convert now for beginners looking to get started in web mapping. […] [I]t is clear that Adam is a great writer who is excited about technology and it shows. The book is very accessible for beginners and even intermediates who might want to get more familiar with Mapstraction. Adam should be very proud of his book as I think he’s done a superb job on it.”
