1. Be sure to read chapters 1 and 2 first. Going through Chapter 3 is a good starting point if this is new to you by going through and coding the examples. 2. Google Assignment 1 will consist of the following: Read carefully through chapters 4 and 5 to complete the map codes presented. For each map, you will end up with 3 files: an html file (.html), a JavaScript file (.js) file and a css file (.css). You can use any text editor (like notepad++) to create the files. Your map should show up generally like the book if everything is correct for each map. And be sure to code each map separately, don't try to combine them all together. I'm attaching the files for chapter 3 (in the content tab) so you can get an idea. Be careful with file and directory names! That causes most problems with this assignment. With Chapter 4 you will end up with 1 Map and should have at least 3 for chapter 5. It is possible to have a few more, depending on how you go through the examples. Note***Just a note on the code for the Google Maps labs that we will be working on..... As the idea of the course is to experiment with many technologies over the semester to give students a breadth of technology exposure, we are treating the Google API 3 book as a tutorial. While a bit tedious, going through the book example by example will help you understand the Google map API better.

3. We will continue working through the google Map files for the other chapters. You should end up with at least 3 maps for chapter 6 and 3 for chapter 7. Try you best on these. There are some sample image files if you need them for chapter 6 located below. Google Assignment 2 will consist of submitting the code for Chapters 6 and 7. Ok. Now for the code fix About three semesters ago Google's MAP API was updated which will cause the map codes from the book to show with an error. Google now requires a special API Key for all maps. So, when working and testing your maps Replace the code the book has listed in the HTML file as: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"> With the following: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyB3gseP6Jv4lIPGwUK_CbKJClQpVj2ehzw&c allback=myMap "> That should do the trick.
