I've never learned any programming knowledge from books, and I generally doubt that they are the best mechanism for conveying information about anything in this field. However, my absolute favorite book in this field is still _Mapping Hacks_, which (while unlikely to be relevant to any direct problems you have) is still occasionally a handy reference for ideas on building mapping apps. I don't think that's really what you're looking for, but I had to mention it anyway. I would recommend the examples, and docs.openlayers.org; other than that, Javascript knowledge is a big plus, I guess, so if there are good books for learning that, you can go ahead... In the end, OL isn't (generally) all that complex; the bits that *are* complex, I wouldn't want written in a book anyways since they're subject to change. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
