New Bing Maps Book Helps Developers

Parlez-Vous Français? Well, if you do and you want to learn how to build applications using The Bing Maps Platform have I got a book for you. Yesterday, at Microsoft Tech Days France, I met Nicolas Boonaert who is the author of the first and only book about Bing Maps, “Bing Maps - Guide complet de la cartographie interactive (Broch&eacute.” Now, this is not to be confused with my good friend Chandu Thota’s book “Programming MapPoint in .NET” or Microsoft Research’s (and former MapPoint Technical Evangelist) B.J. Holtgrewe’s “MapPoint for Dummies.” Boonaert’s book is a great read for anyone interested in developing anything in Bing Maps including 3D, AJAX, Silverlight and Mobile. He even touches a bit on licensing. From the


Amazon.com France web site: “Ce livre sur Bing Maps (anciennement Virtual Earth) s'adresse à des développeurs débutants à confirmés, curieux de la cartographie interactive et des nouvelles technologies orientées Web. Le livre couvre l'ensemble des possibilités de l'API Bing Maps for Entreprise de Microsoft, à travers des cas concrets, rencontrés en entreprise, pratiques et réutilisables. Ces exemples illustrent comment intégrer des données géolocalisées de manière simple mais proposent aussi des fonctionnalités de recherche interactive et surtout, intègrent les dernières technologies pour un rendu multimédia riche. La richesse de ces cas d'utilisation permet au lecteur de bien cerner l'importance que peut prendre la cartographie dans les développements orientés web, les RIA, les périphériques mobiles et même les interfaces de demain comme la table Microsoft Surface. Les exemples proposés sont particulièrement adaptés au langage C# dans la plate-forme .NET. Le code source est en téléchargement sur cette page. Les chapitres du livre : Introduction - Historique et évolutions - Description technique de Bing Maps - Bing Maps et le contrôle JavaScript - Bing Maps et Silverlight - Le service web Bing Maps 1.0 - La mobilité et le service Bing Maps - Un service interopérable - Projets libres - Analyse concurrentielle : Microsoft Bing Maps et les autres APIs.


Definitely worth the 39 euro price tag.
