Summary

In this chapter, you were introduced to the basics of OpenLayers 3 with a more advanced approach. We also discussed some architectural considerations, and some of the structural specialties of the library. Hopefully, along with the general revision, we acquired some insight in using the API documentation and debugging practices. Congratulations! You are now on your way to mastering OpenLayers 3.

In the next chapter, we will discuss which parts of the rendered elements can be changed with pure CSS, and what elements can be changed with CSS-like style properties. We will also learn how to change the appeal of the map, and thereby make our application blend in with our current project.
