Ken Doman has worked in the geographic information system field since 2007. In his first GIS job, he was given a stack of maps, some AutoCAD data, and a shoe box full of address notes and was told to make a web-accessible GIS application out of them. Since then, he has strived to make geographic data available and easily accessible over the Internet. He is an ESRI certified web application developer and has created many public web applications using ArcGIS software.
Currently, Ken works for Bruce Harris & Associates, Inc., a mapping and custom development company that specializes in land records and ESRI software solutions. There, he creates custom web, desktop, and mobile applications using JavaScript, .NET, and ArcGIS software.
He has also been a book reviewer for Building Web and Mobile ArcGIS Server Applications with JavaScript, Packt Publishing by Eric Pimpler and ArcGIS for Desktop Cookbook, Packt Publishing by Daniela Cristiana Docan. You can learn more about Ken at http://raykendo.com.
I would like to first thank my wife, Luann, who put up with many of my late night book-writing sessions. She supported me and pushed me when I needed it. I would also like to thank the city of Jacksonville, Texas, the city of Plantation, Florida, and Bruce Harris & Associates, Inc. for giving me the opportunities to learn the lessons that I was able to pour into this book. Finally, I would like to thank god, the source from whom all blessings flow.
