Through the previous three lessons of this course, you've learned how to build useful web maps using the Google Maps JavaScript API. Esri also offers a web mapping API for the JavaScript platform; what you learned earlier in the course has you well positioned to pick up the Esri API without a terrible amount of effort. This lesson covers the similarities and differences between the two APIs and culminates with you creating a mashup using the Esri API.
