Who this book is for

This book is for web developers with some experience with ArcGIS Server, or geospatial professionals with some experience writing HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. This book assumes that you have viewed some of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript examples provided by ESRI. More importantly, this book is for someone who wishes to dive deeper into application development using ArcGIS Server. Other books provided by Packt Publishing, such as Building Web and Mobile ArcGIS Server Applications with JavaScript by Eric Pimpler or Building Web Applications with ArcGIS by Hussein Nasser, may be more suitable for an introduction to ArcGIS Server and the ArcGIS API for JavaScript.
