Before You Begin
Before you can begin developing with Autodesk MapGuide, you need to
know how to use Autodesk MapGuide and the programming and scripting
languages you use to create Autodesk MapGuide web applications. Equally
important, you need to know who your users are and what they need, as well
as how to deliver help about your applications.
Familiarity with Autodesk MapGuide
You need to be very familiar with Autodesk MapGuide. In particular, you
should read the first few chapters of the
Autodesk MapGuide User’s Guide to
make sure you understand the product, especially emphasizing the following
sections:
■ Chapter 2, “Understanding Autodesk MapGuide.” Read this chapter care-
fully, with particular attention to the sections on how the components
work together, application development components, and what applica-
tion development is.
■ Chapter 3, “Designing Your System.” Pay particular attention to the sec-
tions on security, architecture and performance, and choosing a
Viewer/browser environment.
The more you understand about the Autodesk MapGuide components and
how they work together, the easier it will be for you to comprehend the
examples in this book and come up with unique solutions on your own.
