Administering ArcGIS for Server teaches you the mechanics of ArcGIS for Server, equipping you with the skills to not only install and configure Server, but to do it efficiently to achieve effective results. You will also learn how to plan, analyze, design, and finally publish and consume GIS services from various platforms including mobile and tablets.
ArcGIS for Server is a really powerful GIS tool. This book looks like the ideal thing for those – like me – wanting to step up from fiddling with Google Maps and PostGIS to a true GIS server.
