Whether you're configuring an out-of-the-box solution, building an app using one of the readily available app builder tools, or working on a custom app project, this book will guide you toward developing more useful and usable apps. Current courses for application development focus on technology and architecture rather than the tenets of interface design. This book teaches GIS professionals, developers, and designers the principles and best practices that will help them create stunning consumer-grade apps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesigning Map Interfaces\u003c\/i\u003e provides a language for planning and building map apps. The elements of this language are made up of user interface (UI) patterns. Each pattern describes a solution to an observed and recurring problem in UI design. This book explains when to use the pattern, why it is important, and what to consider—and in turn will help readers make educated decisions on what, why, when, and how to solve problems to make their apps work. Throughout the book, patterns are illustrated through real-world examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKey topics include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003egetting started with design,\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eselecting the right layout,\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003einteracting with the map,\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003edealing with complex data,\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003edesigning for mobile devices,\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ebuilding single-purpose apps, and\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ecommon mistakes and how to avoid them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at anyone who configures (solution engineers, GIS professionals) or builds (developer community, designers) map apps, especially the fast-growing group of users who employ application builders and tools that create apps to publish their own data and maps on the web. \u003ci\u003eDesigning Map Interfaces\u003c\/i\u003e fills the gap that documentation lacks—practical tips on how to assemble a meaningful UI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is the essential guide to designing map interfaces that are usable and efficient, and that look good in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486021075180,"sku":"9781589487253","price":89.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/00e139d767957adcabababec57e89f49.jpg?v=1775783801","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/designing-map-interfaces-by-michael-gaigg-9781589487253","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
