Server-side web GIS applications with Leaflet and PostGIS

Unlock the power of server-side web GIS applications and build dynamic geospatial solutions! This course provides a comprehensive introduction to creating interactive GIS applications accessible from anywhere.

Key Benefits:

• Real-time Data Access: Leverage multi-user databases to ensure your GIS data is always up-to-date. Changes made by other users are instantly reflected in your application.
• Role-Based Access Control: Build complex applications with granular permissions. Control what data different users can view, add, edit, and delete through a user-friendly web interface.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Empower users to interact with your GIS database from any device with a compatible browser and internet connection – whether it's a mobile device in the field, a Mac OS computer at home, or a Linux system globally.
• Solid Foundation in Enduring Technologies: Learn standard web development methods built to last. Gain skills that remain relevant even as technologies evolve.
• Open Source & Cost-Effective: Utilize all open-source software, eliminating licensing fees. Real-world examples demonstrate successful projects with over 50 users accessing a shared database for a minimal monthly cost (around $10/month for web hosting).

Technical Focus:

This course utilizes:

• PHP: A popular and widely available server-side scripting language, ideal for web development.
• PostGIS: A powerful spatial database extension for PostgreSQL, commonly used in GIS applications.

What You'll Gain:

This course offers a strong foundation in the core concepts of server-side web GIS. The skills you acquire will serve as a solid base, regardless of whether you later choose to explore alternative server-side languages, databases, or frameworks. You'll be equipped to build robust and scalable geospatial applications.
