Internet Mapping with Geoserver, Postgres, and Openlayers 3
- 4.1
Brief Introduction
Create your first Internet Map Server application using Open Source GIS tools this weekendDescription
Do you want to learn how to build an Internet Map Server application using free and open source GIS? Do you want that server to display raster, vector and attribute information and perform spatial analysis and database queries over the Internet? Do you want to learn how to connect your map server to Postgres and PostGIS. If so, this course is for you. I will walk you step-by-step through the process of installing Geoserver, loading data, creating server side analytical processes, and finally show you how to render the data on the client side using Openlayers 3.0. Don't be afraid - this is a painless step-by-step approach that anyone can learn with my course.
When you are done with this course, you'll have the basics down. Now it's up to you to create impressive Internet mapping sites!
Requirements
- Requirements
- We will be serving data from Postgres and PostGIS, so you should have that installed - you can use my Enterprise GIS training video to get up to speed on Postgres and PostGIS.
- Students should be familiar with some form of scripting (i.e. javascript). It is not critical, but if scripting frightens you, you may want to familiarize yourself with those concepts before taking this course.
