About
In this course, you will understand the process of installing GeoServer, loading data, creating server-side analytical processes, and finally, rendering the data on the client-side using OpenLayers 3.0, all in a step-by-step manner.

The course starts by guiding you through installing GeoServer, Postgres, and QGIS, and then analyzing the data that you’ll be using throughout the course to learn various concepts. Once you load the data into Postgres, you will learn how to start the GeoServer and navigate the interface. You will create workspaces and stores and add layers from different stores including shapefiles and GeoPackage. As you proceed, you will understand the services in GeoServer including Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS). In the concluding section, you will go on to cover the implementation of OpenLayers 3.0 for interacting with GeoServer from the client-side.

By the end of this course, you’ll be well-versed in the basics and proficient in creating impressive Internet mapping sites.
