Book excerpt: Build a web mapping application from scratch using ArcGIS Javascript API and ArcGIS Online. You will build an app that helps users locate landmarks. The app shows the landmarks in a map such as libraries, cafes, restaurants schools and much more. It has a search capability to search for landmarks where they will be highlighted on the map. It also shows the nearby landmarks within specific miles from current location. So you can answer interesting questions such as show me all libraries within 100 feet of this coffee shop or are there any liquor stores within a mile from this school? I will be providing you with the sample data which I created myself, this data is not real it is just sample. All we need is to write the application. The app will run on both mobile and desktop. Whom this book is written for?Anyone interested in learning how to build a web mapping application. Basic programming knowledge is recommended but not required. I will explain all that is required as we go through the book.System RequirementsI designed this book in a way so you don't require a special or license to get started. I will be using a mac in this book but will include instructions for Windows and Linux. We will use ArcGIS Online free account to host our landmark data and ArcGIS Javascript API 4.x to write the web application. I will provide that data in GeoJSON format so we can upload it to ArcGIS Online.Software RequirementsAll you need on your machine is a text editor to write code and a web server to serve the static files. I will be using Node JS as a web server and Visual Studio Code as the text editor. We will take care of the download and installation of those two in chapter
