    Preface

    When I first started working with the Bing Maps APIs, I was amazed at how easy it was to drop a map on a web page with just a few lines of code. Then I started changing the way the map looked; then I added some pushpins to show points of interest, and inevitably changed the way the pins looked.

    This book describes many of these processes and much more, building on real applications as we explore new venues of the vast universe of Bing Maps.
