The book also includes several scenarios illustrating different types of applications that can be developed using the ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit. ArcGIS Engineprovides the framework for developers to connect to remote ArcGIS Server objects or create focused GIS applications that can be executed as stand-alone applications or deployed inside of ArcGIS Desktop productsArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcView. The entire ArcGIS system is built and extended using software components called ArcObjects, which are at the core of all ArcGIS products.
