Developing Applications with Autodesk MapGuide This section describes the products and technologies used to create an Autodesk MapGuide application. An Autodesk MapGuide application can be as simple as an HTML page that displays an embedded Map Window File (MWF), or it can be as complex as a CGI application, coded in C++, that modifies data files on the server and refreshes the browsers of everyone viewing the map.

A client-side application runs in the user's browser, using the processing power of the user's (client) computer. It is typically an HTML page that hosts Autodesk MapGuide Viewer and contains code to access the objects of the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API.
