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!
Getting Started with Installation and the Geoserver Interface

InstallationThis is a quick lecture to assist you in installing Geoserver. Most people can figure it out on their own, but I wanted to give you at least some hand-holding along the way.

Installation Walkthrough
This is a continuation of the previous lecture. The screen recording device does not work when an installation script is running, so I made a series of screen shots for you to follow along with.

Navigating the Geoserver interface
Geoserver does a lot of things. In this lecture you'll learn some of the key components to the interface such as logging in, viewing layers, styles, and workspaces. We'll also learn where Geoserver stores all this information on the hard drive.
Processing Client Requests on the Server

Adding, Styling, and Displaying Shapefiles
In this section you will bring in your own data to work with Geoserver. We'll start with shapefiles, as they are pretty easy to work with. But, we'll eventually make our way over to using data from Postgres.
Don't forget to download the shapefile data.

Adding, Styling, and Displaying Data from Postgres
We are now going to get pretty sophisticated, and begin serving data out of Postgres. This is the stuff the high paid consultants all do - but don't worry, it's not that hard. I'm going to show you how to do it.
Don't forget to download the Postgres backup file - that way you can work alongside me.
Interacting with Geoserver from the Client with Openlayers 3
How long do I have access to the course materials?
You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
