Assignment: Build an App of Your Own

PrintPrint

For this lesson's graded assignment, I'd like you to build a web-mapping app with Esri technology (using either a configurable template or the Web AppBuilder).  You are welcome to select the app's subject matter (perhaps something from your work) and the functionality it provides. If you're unsure of what to map, you might try searching ArcGIS Online, where there is a wealth of data.

You will have two other opportunities to select your own projects later in the course: once to overlay features on top of the Google basemap using the Google Maps API and later in the course's culminating project when you'll code your own app based on either Google or Esri technology.  Keep that in mind when selecting data and/or functionality to incorporate into this project.

Deliverables

This project is one week in length. Please refer to the course Calendar, in Canvas, for the due date.
