Introduction to OpenLayers

This is one of the best javascript mapping api since ka-map came out. Main site is www.openlayers.org, documentation is a bit rough, but wikis providing valuable information for class documentation and some howto's can be found from http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/TitleIndex . You should also definitely read the FAQ http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions before doing any implementation.

Once you have a working mapserver serving wms then you're good to go. Make sure you enable wms, wfc, and the rest of the w**. http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server
