What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

Massera Riccardo Mar 29, 2015

I enjoyed reading this book, it is aimed to GIS developers that would like to learn how to develop websites and mobile applications that interact with Esri's ArcGIS API.The first part is a nice introduction that explains how to approach mobile applications development in contrast with desktop web development and the basics of the dojo and ArcGIS frameworks.The author approach is hands on and the examples help the reader to learn and develop step by step: things are explained in a concise but effective manner starting from the basics and building on it to obtain fully functional applications.One thing I appreciated is that only the relevant code to understand the key concepts is included and commented in the book, while there are many links to examples on the book website, keeping the book compact in size, not bloated with code and leaving more space for useful pictures and screenshots.One chapter is devoted to explain what changed with the recent introduction of ArcGIS Online SaaS service and how you can develop a GIS application using it; this chapter is admittedly only a brief introduction to the main concepts to get started with ArcGIS Online.The final part is perhaps the most interesting, since it explains how get started with PhoneGap/Cordova and how to develop a cross-platform mobile GIS app using the same APIs seen in the first part of the book.In the end, I would recommend reading this book to programmers that are looking for a graceful introduction to ArcGIS web and mobile development and would like to experiment with it.

Great book I have not seen any book like this, it is something new for ne.I appreciate the author because it wrote the book in a logical way, it is something important because we can aply the codes in a solutionVery interesting book very new technologies in mobile development.

Matteo Apr 14, 2015

This book let you learn how to set up a map interface for any of your mobile web apps, sometimes you get overloaded by code but its sort of a given in a coding book. Its not too complex to read too so you can easily read it in a couple of sittings(its short but in a good way) without studying it too much. If you are going to set up any world map in your web site and you are not going to just paste google maps you need to give this book a shot

I really appreciated “Developing Mobile Web ArcGIS Applications”. The book is beginners driven, so the author explains all the basics. Everything seemed covered without going in too much technicalities. The book is focused in giving us practical skills, that could be extended after.The first thing I liked is that the author takes time to explain the difference of designing a web application on a mobile platform instead of a desktop browser, something that doesn’t always come to mind at first.The book covers the basic Esri, Bootstrap and Geolocation APIs, without going in to much details and the tutorial for our “first” ArcGIS mobile web application is concise and well written. It’s easy to follow and to create that app and also provides good practices in web app development.The step-by-step tutorials allows us to add the most popular features of a web map application, like popups, legend, a search tool and a geocoding tool as well as developing a cross-platform/cross-device application.I also appreciated the PhoneGap introduction. PhoneGap is a free opensource framework that allows us to create native mobile apps from html and javascript. I’m looking forward to try that one!I would have liked a part on editing features, if only attributes. It’s mentioned on the book, but never explained how to do it. There’s plenty of example of that on the web, but it would have been nice to have an example in the same reference.

There are a number of books, many excellent, dealing with developing GIS websites using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript API and their number is growing. While a few of these books have a chapter or two about mobile GIS websites, few were devoted solely to the subject; "Developing Mobile Web ArcGIS Applications" is one of them.(Edit: I had forgotten another title dealing with mobile ArcGIS Server applications, "Building Web and Mobile ArcGIS Server Applications with JavaScript" [http://www.amazon.com/dp/1849697965], also published by Packt Publishing. I haven't read it yet but felt it should be mentioned.)I've read through this and wasn't disappointed. The first item that excited me was the use of version 3.11 of the JSAPI in the code. This is not far behind the current version of 3.13 (as of 3/27/2015) and helps; make the sample code relevant and usable instead of having to translate something from v1.x or even 2.xThe second item was the really good introductory to responsive web design (RWD) - essential for designing well-behaved mobile apps in general - and BootStrap.As for the content layout, I appreciated the development of the core features first (e.g. layout, basemaps, adding feature layers, handling events, and determining geolocation) followed by more advanced concepts (e.g. pop-ups, legends, finding features, and searching addresses). My only gripe is a bit more focus is needed on finding features and address searching as these are core features of any GIS website most users would be familiar with and looking for.The introductory chapter to ArcGIS Online, while helpful, was also a little too brief.I skimmed the last chapter dealing with creating a hybrid app using PhoneGap as it's not immediately applicable to my needs. It still looks interesting though.All in all, I'd give this very up-to-date and worthwhile book a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars (if I could).I should also note that while there are many good technical books out there, few are fun technical books. This one falls in that latter group for me.Another related book that I found fun as well is "Google Maps JavaScript API Cookbook" [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HJR6RD6], again published by Packt Publishing.
