Shapefiles doubts

[Nick Floersch]

Hi Apeksha,
 
I have no idea of your budget, but I've found that both books are quite
useful.
Web Mapping illustrated has a lot of nice information which is not in
the MapServer book, AND vice-versa. The Mapserver book is great and very
focused on Mapserver and Mapscript.
Web Mapping Illustrated, however, contains some information on how to
use WMS/WFS with Mapserver, which is no really in the Mapserver Book.
Web Mapping Illustrated talks about OpenEV a bunch, and some other
tools. I think they complement each other.
 
We bought both books and have not regretted it. Amazon even gives you a
bit of deal when you buy both together.

Hi Bill ,
 
[other stuff]
 
Also , we were initially planning on buying Web Mapping Illustrated .
However , your book seems to be more relevant , do u think so ( keeping
in mind of what our project deals with ) ?
 
Would it be possible for you to mail us the table-of-contents of your
book. We tried searching it online , but the site somehow doesnt open
properly.
 
Thanks once again ,
Apeksha
