Chapter 1 basically just introduces the main ideas of Web GIS. I was particularly interested in learning about its growing impact across a variety of industries including governmental entities, businesses, and educational institutions. This chapter also discussed the flexibility of Web GiS in storing and sharing data, either in the cloud through ArcGIS Online or directly managed by users. The software integrates many essential elements of mapping such as data, layers, web maps, scenes, tools, and apps, to create a user-friendly system for the synthesis of interactive and shareable maps. The tutorials helped me learn the basics of Web GIS by guiding me through the simple process of creating items, adding them to folders, and publishing maps for public viewing. Understanding the different types of layers that can be used and how they can be applied to practical projects is something I know will be useful in the future. Although parts of this chapter and its information felt intuitive due to my experience in ArcGIS Desktop, Web GIS clearly makes sharing data and my visualizations much easier, and makes this software and its benefits more accessible for a broader audience. Overall, this chapter provided a great foundation for understanding Web GIS and its potential applications. Chapter 2 continues to discuss layer types and introduces smart mapping, which helps to simplify maps to highlight data patterns. I found the mapping styles table helpful for selecting the right map type for projects. The chapter also covers ArcGIS Arcade, a scripting tool for customizing popups, similar to using formulas in Excel. It goes into more detail on personalizing popups to make data easier to understand and introduces Story Maps as a way to combine text, media, and interactive maps for clear communication with non-GIS audiences. The tutorials on creating story maps with swipe comparisons and timelines were especially useful. Chapters 1 and 2 could be used for many applications, one idea that excites me would be creating a wildlife conservation map with popups to track endangered species. This would be a useful tool for biologists to have and share data to track populations and possibly look at change over time.
