Is there any book for ArcGIS javascript API 4.x?

FaisalMushtaq

I searched on internet any good book related to ArcGIS javascript API.

Found one but perhaps that makes use of API version 3 which is quite different from version 4.

So I am wondering if there is any book available in market from Amazon or else where that targets version 4.x of ArcGIS javascript?

Please guide. Thanks.

Currently, besides esri excellent documentation, tutorials and code examples, I know only of 2 books that are wholly dedicated to API version 4:

1. Introducing Arcgis API 4 for JavaScript: Turn Awesome Maps Into Awesome Apps, by Rene Rubalcava, from 2017

2. Learn GIS Programming with ArcGIS for Javascript API 4.x and ArcGIS Online, by Hussein Nasser, from 2018-2019, which instructs you step by step in building an engaging web map application, that works on mobile or the web.

My opinion is that both books are good. Their methodologies differ - Rene's book is a general introduction, whilst Hussein's book focuses on taking you by hand, developing a whole 2D web application which runs on server in your pc (he presents IIS or Node, but you can use also simple http-server).

I found also that API version 4 is presented also in single chapter scope, at the end of next 2 books:

1. Chapter 10 (last chapter) of Getting to Know Web GIS - fourth edition, by Pinde Fu, from 2020

2. The appendix of Building Web and Mobile ArcGIS Server Applications with JavaScript - Second Edition, from 2017

You will not get any book for the version 4 of the JS API as it is still new and lot of existing features are yet to be made for the 4.X series. You can go for the 3.X series book and the main concepts will still remain the same. Below is the link of the book which should help:

It's symbolic. I'm down voting the JIVE forum system that ESRI adopted. It's a mess compared to the old forums.

Thanks. Steve.

I bought this book. Meanwhile your profile logo looked like first to me, as if you downvoted it

I have a few 3.x based apps and I'm not even going to bother attempting to re-write them until a lot more functionality is ported to 4.x. I'm not woo'd by ESRI's siren's song of flashy 3-D visualizations. In some ways, I feel this is a endemic of a larger problem with ESRI- playing catch up. ArcGIS Pro will replace Arcmap but is so crippled with missing functionality. Same goes for the Javascript API. I've never been LESS excited for an ESRI UC as this year. The only question is, compared to previous software versions, what precentage of complete functionality are we at this year?

There's a ton of videos on the JS API from UC/DevSummit also available on Youtube.

I have to wonder if Esri will need to make more progress with porting functionality from 3.x before we see more literature. There is still a bit of important functionality that needs to be ported, not to mention some bugs and intricacies resolved in 3.x that have cropped-up again in v4.

I like the progress on the one hand, but on the other, we have invested years into creating a mature product based upon the 3.x line, Esri's suggestion to "re-write" rather than port 3.x-based applications really stings! IMHO, API upgrades shouldn't be so obtuse, but I understand the reasoning, and it is certainly not unprecedented. We re-wrote our mapping app from Silverlight (not even Esri-based) before switching to the JSAPI a few years ago.

The only one I'm aware of is by Rene Rubalcava‌ :
