Implementing the Candidate Map

Now that we've been introduced to Web services and Visualforce, we're ready to implement the mash-up piece for our Recruiting app: the Candidate Map. Our requirements state that we need to generate a map for all the candidates that have applied for a particular position so that we can better understand potential relocation costs associated with a new hire. Since Universal Containers has offices all over the country, this map will also help us assign candidates to an office if a particular position is open in more than one location.
