Summary
In this chapter, you were introduced to Bestaurants, a web application project for the tourists in Belize to view and search for Belize's best restaurants. We designed the interface of the Bestaurants web application and created a software architecture that will help us in the development process. We learned how a request is executed from the point it is initiated on the browser up until it gets executed in the database and returned. We have installed and configured both ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS for Server from scratch. Finally, we have published the Bestaurants data to ArcGIS for Server as a service and tested that it is working.
In the next chapter, we will build the web application template in HTML and use basic ArcGIS JavaScript API command to connect to the service we published.
