Editorial Reviews

This book introduces Java programming to those who wish to use computers to handle information with a geographical element. It covers object-oriented modeling concepts and shows how these ideas can be used to model, process, and visualize geographic information, leading readers from initial ideas of class design through implementation of raster and vector models of space. Recent developments in Internet technologies are described. The text is aimed at novice programmers as well as those in fields such as geography, GIS, and remote sensing. Wood teaches geographic information at City University, London. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
