Google Mapping the Shapefile with Flex, PHP, and PostGIS

While there are several Google Maps books on the market, most fail to demonstrate techniques applicable to moving complex enterprise GIS datasets into Google Maps applications. For many GIS professionals, this simple goal usually dead-ends with the frustrated question, "how can I get basic ESRI shapefile data into Google Maps?!?" As yet, this topic is not satisfactorily addressed in print nor in the blogosphere. This eBook will demonstrate approaches necessary to tackle the challenge of moving enterprise GIS data to the web using Flex, Google Maps, PostGRESQL, and PHP, and in the process it will become a much needed and sorely missed resource for GIS programmers wanting to showcase their data online without having to lease a dedicated web host.
