Mark Lewin has been developing, teaching, and writing about software for over 16 years. His main interest is GIS and web mapping. Working for ESRI, the world's largest GIS company, he acted as a consultant, trainer, course author, and a frequent speaker at industry events. He has subsequently expanded his knowledge to include a wide variety of open source mapping technologies and a handful of relevant JavaScript frameworks including Node.js, Dojo, and JQuery.
Mark now works for Oracle's MySQL curriculum team, focusing on creating great learning experiences for DBAs and developers, but remains crazy about web mapping.
He is the author of books such as Leaflet.js Succinctly, Go Succinctly, and Go Web Development Succinctly for Syncfusion. He is also the co-author of the forthcoming second edition of Building Web and Mobile ArcGIS Server Applications with JavaScript, which is to be published by Packt.
I would like to thank the production team at Packt for keeping me on schedule, and also my wonderful children who have seen less of me during the process than they would have done otherwise!
