Training Courses¶

The following are actual course materials given at our OpenGeo training classes in New York City and around the world. As our list of courses grows, we will be posting more materials here.

Introduction to the OpenGeo Suite

This full day course will introduce attendees to the OpenGeo Suite. The course is divided into two main areas. The first, Working With Data, will include an introduction to PostGIS and loading and organizing data with GeoServer. The second, Making Maps, will involve styling map layers with Styler, composing and publishing maps with GeoExplorer, map optimization with GeoWebCache, and creating your own web map application with OpenLayers.

Other Workshops¶

The following are materials were given at various workshops and conferences.

Developing OGC Services Based Web Applications with GeoExt

Presented at AGIT 2010, this workshop introduces GeoExt as a web mapping frontend to OGC Web Services (OWS). Create a draggable map window with a WMS layer, a WMS browser, a WFS-T editor, and more.

Introduction to OpenLayers

How to create an embedded map, add layers, use controls, add markers and other useful topics for getting started with the OpenLayer Javascript map component.

More OpenGeo Services¶

OpenGeo Suite

The OpenGeo Suite bundles PostGIS, GeoServer, GeoWebCache and OpenLayers into one integrated, supported, web mapping application stack. The OpenGeo Suite can be integrated into existing infrastructures, deployed stand-alone, or deployed in cloud-computing environments.

Core Development

OpenGeo employs core committers and steering committee members for all the open source projects we support. That gives you unparalleled access to then talent and connections necessary to get new features built and integrated into the projects.
