GIS with PostGIS & MapServer

( Duration: 3 Days )

This GIS with PostGIS & MapServer training course teaches you the fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - including common conventions, and methods of managing and manipulating GeoSpatial data using the open-source PostGIS extentions to PostgreSQL. You will learn to install, query, import, export, and manage GeoSpatial data within the PostgreSQL/PostGIS environment. The MapServer portion of this course teaches to utilize MapServer to generate static and interactive maps using data stored in the PostgreSQL relational database with PostGIS extensions.

This GIS with PostGIS & MapServer workshop requires:

  • An understanding of relational database fundamentals, including the ability to write SQL queries.
  • The ability to perform basic file management and editing tasks using the Linux file system (GUI editors are fine)
