Yahoo! Maps provides some amazing opportunities to build really rich interfaces into your web and enterprise applications. With the launch of the Flex version of the maps, we can see how this massively scalable and highly performant application provides not only a great end-user Yahoo! experience, but more important to this crowd is the ability to embed all that awesome functionality of custom apps.
Chuck Freedman, who we got to hang out with at Flash in the Can and other dev events over the last year has just released his first book, Yahoo! Maps Mashups which has an impressive list of content for the Flash and Flex crowd:
* Panning and zooming, widgets, markers, overlays and geocoding.
* Enriching the Mashup experience with the JavaScript-Flash API
* Creative and customized Mashups with the Actionscript-Flash API
* Enterprise level data-driven Mashups with the Flex API
* 4 fully implemented and guided mashups featuring Flickr, HotJobs, Upcoming.org, real-time weather, traffic, video and more!
Great stuff, congrats on the book launch, Chuck!
Since many of our developers are already working in Flex 2, I think you will also find Dustin Andrews' example of how to get the current Yahoo! Maps Flash API to work in Flex 2 / AS3 very valuable.
