Course Overview
Lets make the digital maps. Learn about leafletjs, GeoDjango, PostGIS and GeoServer
This course is mainly designed for people who are highly interested in web mapping/webGIS development. In this course, I mainly focused on the leaflet, GeoDjango and GeoServer. Since it is a practical based course, I directly started to write the code rather than make slides. Inside the course, you will find simple, effective and alternative ways to do the tasks.
Leaflet: Leaflet is the leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. Weighing just about 39 KB of JS, it has all the mapping features most developers ever need. Leaflet allows developers without a GIS background to very easily display tiled web maps hosted on a public server, with optional tiled overlays. It can load feature data from GeoJSON files, style it and create interactive layers, such as markers with popups when clicked.
GeoServer: GeoServer implements industry-standard OGC protocols such as Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Map Service (WMS), and Web Coverage Service (WCS). Additional formats and publication options are available as extensions including Web Processing Service (WPS), and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS). GeoServer aims to operate as a node within a free and open Spatial Data Infrastructure. Just as the Apache HTTP Server has offered a free and open web server to publish HTML, GeoServer aims to do the same for geospatial data.

O conteúdo é muito bom. Mas infelizmente o som é horrível. Ai tem que fazer o curso usando as legendas.

The Leaflet introductory session is good , but things start to change during Django-backend section. Most of the installation commands especially pipwin are not working. The installation procedure of gdal library will not work on windows , that I've raised in Q&A section. Then comes an over-engineered project in which we have to upload shp file to postgre server and then to geoserver and then to our django front-end , and in doing so it requires 15+ libraries of python , QGIS software to generate shp files , Geoserver installation , JDK software , followed by 100+ lines of code to simply upload shp file to PostGIS ???
