WebGIS Application Development (Developing an Enterprise GIS Portal Serving Geospatial)

Let’s start on our online training course on WebGIS Application Development! This course is for anyone, be it a GIS enthusiast who wants to get his hands on web-based applications or a mere developer who wants to learn something new.

First, we will organize basic problems involving HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and conceptual GIS for participants to recall/refresh them. Next, let us discuss the installation and settings of key Open Source Software: PostgreSQL, PostGIS, GeoServer, and MapServer. These are the foundations on which one can build sound WebGIS applications.

In the course called “WebGIS Application Development,” you will gain a profound knowledge of OpenLayers as a web mapping framework. In the context of the present course, the following course outcomes are proposed: Summarize the principal functionalities of OpenLayers; Understand how OpenLayers can be applied to develop new solutions in the WebGIS portal context; Learn key concepts of programming as applied to Web development; Employ OpenLayers to develop own WebGIS portal. You can install one WebGIS application with the standard GIS functions on your computer at the end of the training.

Whether you are fascinated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or willing to enhance your development competency, this course, ‘WebGIS Application Development,’ will guide you through creating aesthetic WebGIS applications.
