The aim of this course is to familiarize the students with OGC web services: WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS and WPS. The main focus is on first three of these. We will use GeoServer for providing web services and OpenLayers and QGIS for using them.

GeoServer has a nice web user interface, so using it relativly easy and does not require programmin skills.

The course material is GeoSolutions's Geoserver Training. We will cover these topics:

  • Installing and running GeoServer
  • Adding Data to GeoServer
  • Pretty maps with GeoServer
  • Advanced Raster Data Management
  • Caching maps with GeoWebCache
  • Delivering Vector Data
  • GeoServer REST interface
  • Working with OpenLayers

Prerequisistes:

  • Basics of GIS
  • Basic use of any GIS tool (QGIS, ArcGIS, MapInfo etc)
  • Earlier experience with GeoServer or OpenLayers is not needed.
  • JavaScript programming skills are helpful in OpenLayers part, but also participants without any programming skills are welcome to the course.
