About the Course
This course includes open-source GIS software such as QGIS, PostGIS, GeoServer, and OpenLayers which all together can deliver the complete GIS solution. OpenLayers makes it easy to put a dynamic map in any web page. It can display map tiles and markers loaded from any source. OpenLayers has been developed to further the use of geographic information of all kinds. Attendees will learn how to create browser-based map applications and display data from a variety of sources. Basic JavaScript syntax will be covered. In GeoServer attendees will learn how to load, publish, and share geospatial data. In PostGIS, attendees will learn about and create spatial databases, load data from a variety of sources into a spatial database, and perform queries against the data. Basic SQL syntax will be covered.
Target Participants
This course is ideal for non-GIS users as well as experts, geographers, IT professionals, web developers, cartographers, geoscientists, surveyors, planners, software engineers, database administrators, system administrators and monitoring and evaluation practitioners.
What you will learn
By the end of the course the learner should be able to:
• Understand the principles of GIS and Remote Sensing
• Acquire skills how to make different types of web map
• Understand spatial databases
• Become familiar with basics in HTML, JavaScript, CSS
• Install and load GIS data into Geoserver
• Learn how to publish maps online using open-source software (Carto DB, fusion Tables, Geoserver).
