Getting to Know Mobile GIS empowers readers to creatively use Mobile GIS and drive innovation in this fast-advancing field."Mobile-first" and the "post-PC era" aren't just buzzwords; they represent today's reality. Within the GIS industry, the mobile internet and Mobile GIS have profoundly transformed how we acquire, visualize, analyze, and disseminate geospatial information. With its ubiquitous use and location-aware capabilities, the mobile platform is an essential part of enterprise GIS across industries, making Mobile GIS crucial to the business operations and future success of wide-ranging organizations.Getting to Know Mobile GIS helps GIS professionals and GIS students grasp the opportunities presented by Mobile GIS. It provides principles and detailed tutorials to teach today's cutting-edge Mobile GIS technologies. Using a no-code, low-code approach, it makes Mobile GIS easy and fun to learn. Readers can immediately become productive in creating enterprise GIS solutions, ranging from online and offline spatial data visualization, data collection, location sharing, and workforce coordination to integration with enterprise workflows.Pinde Fu leads the ArcGIS Platform Engineering team at Esri Professional Services and teaches at universities, including Harvard University Extension School. His specialties include Web and Mobile GIS technologies and applications in various industries. Several of his projects have won special achievement awards. Fu is the author of Getting to Know Web GIS (Esri Press, 2022) and lead author of Web GIS: Principles and Applications (Esri Press, 2010).

Getting to Know Web GIS, a workbook with detailed, step-by-step exercises, teaches readers how to share resources online and build web GIS applications easily and quickly. It covers Esri's suite of web GIS technologies including ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS for Server, web app templates, WebApp Builder, API for JavaScript, mobile GIS apps, mobile SDKs, CityEngine, and 3D web maps. Holistic Approach: Unlike books that focus on individual products, this book teaches web GIS technologies as a holistic platform. Each chapter completes an application project using multiple products from server side to browser/client side. Easy to Apply: You don't have to be a developer to build web apps. This book facilitates immediate productivity. It teaches how to build engaging web apps without a single line of programming. The two chapters involving programming are easy to follow and don't require a strong programing background. Each of the 10 chapters in this book has a conceptual discussion section that gives readers the big picture and the principles, a system requirements section that helps instructors to prepare for the lab setup, a detailed tutorial section with abundant screenshots that confirm progress along the way, a Q/A section to answer common questions, an assignment section for readers to practice what they have just learned, and a robust reference section. This book is the result of the author's extensive working experience at Esri and teaching experience at Harvard University Extension and other universities. It is a practical manual for classroom lab work and on the job training for GIS students, instructors, GIS analysts, managers, web developers, and a broad range of GIS professionals.
