Turning desktop GIS analysis into an interactive web application requires a distinct set of publishing and web development skills; this advanced course builds them from server setup through to a working web map. Participants deploy a real web GIS application during the course.
This advanced course teaches participants to publish GIS data and analysis as interactive web applications, using the open-source stack of QGIS Server and GeoServer for map and feature services, PostGIS as a spatial database backend, and OpenLayers or Leaflet for front-end web map development.
Participants work through the full pipeline: configuring WMS and WFS services, styling web layers with SLD, building an interactive front-end with layer controls and pop-ups, and deploying a complete web GIS application that others can access through a browser.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
