[edit] ArcGIS Online Sharing
ArcGIS Online Sharing provides users with the capability to share and find geographic information. This free Web application makes it easy to upload and share content as well as find content published by Esri, ArcGIS users, and other authoritative data providers. It can be found at http://www.arcgisonline.com and is currently in Public Beta.
ArcGIS Online Sharing is a free membership system that allows users to create groups, join groups, and control access to the items they want to share publicly or within groups. By joining, users become part of a large community of GIS users who share a common interest in collaborating and sharing their GIS work.
With the ArcGIS Online Sharing application, users can
- Access a central repository of GIS content and capabilities over the Web.
- Upload, share, and find maps, layers, layer packages, map services, and tools.
- Create Web maps with no programming skills necessary through the built-in map viewer application and share them with others.
- Save time and money by accessing ready-to-use foundation services with no additional investment in infrastructure.
ArcGIS Online Sharing is hosted by Esri, so all that is needed is an Internet browser. Any of the shared items can be executed directly from ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Explorer.
[edit] ArcGIS Web Mapping API's
ArcGIS Web Mapping API's allow users to build and deploy applications that include GIS functionality and Web services from ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Server. Use ArcGIS APIs for Flex, JavaScript or Microsoft Silverlight to build rich, lightweight Internet applications that can be embeded in Web pages or launched as stand-alone Web applications. Use Flex and Adobe Air or Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to build desktop applications.

- ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for the Google Maps API
- ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for Bing Maps
- The ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight™/WPF™
- The ArcGIS API for Flex
