Summary

In this chapter, we have learnt the basics of writing a simple web application using the ArcGIS JavaScript API, and put together a map-based application. We learned how to set up the application in the head of the HTML document. We learned how to create a map on a page and how to add layers so that we can view the data. We learned how to retrieve feature shapes and attributes through a task, and how to show that data to the user.

In the next chapter, we'll look more in depth at the tools available in the ArcGIS JavaScript API.
