5.0 out of 5 stars This really does what it says 13 Jun 2009
By Mr. R. C. Mallett
Format:Paperback
He takes you through examples (from simple to complex) and at every step he explains the new features that he has introduced; although you can just download the code from his website, and change the co-ordinates and text to create your own Google Maps. He even includes an introduction to Javascript.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for beginners 1 Aug 2009
By Mark S. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I highly recommend this book. I purchased several others on the topic, but as an absolute beginner, this one was the best because it walks you through each example step by step, clearly explaining the function of each part of the code, and noting how the parts fit together to produce the final result. It builds up at a nice pace, from basic to advanced, and seems to pay meticulous attention to the necessary details. It's not a recipe book, but more like a well organized and comprehensive course. With focus, even a beginner can learn to customize and maybe even combine functions from the various maps presented. This is an excellent book.
