Why take this course?

This course is mainly designed for the peoples who are highly interested in the web-mapping/web-GIS development. In this course, I mainly focused on the leaflet, GeoDjango, GeoServer, and PostGIS. Since it is a practical-based course, I directly started to write the code rather than making slides. After finishing this course, you will get a clear idea about the web-GIS and web mapping technology using open-source programming languages. 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.

GeoDjango: Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. GeoDjango intends to be a world-class geographic Web framework. Its goal is to make it as easy as possible to build GIS Web applications and harness the power of spatially enabled data.

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).

PostGIS: PostGIS is an open-source software program that adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. PostGIS follows the Simple Features for SQL specification from the Open Geospatial Consortium.

This course went beyond my expectations. So much of contents about Leaflet, GeoDjango, Postgresql and Geoserver. I learned so many things from this course. A great course who would like to enhance their webmapping skills. I would highly recommend if anyone is interested !!

An OK course, some important concepts weren't explained but it's enough to get by if you have previous web development experience. If you're a complete beginner I would look elsewhere. Sound quality/pronunciation could be improved also.

This course is a perfect starting point for whoever has a fundamental knowledge of GIS, web development, web mapping, and database management. I enjoyed the course since I have advanced knowledge of the stuff I just mentioned but if you are a novice you need to first know the basics of HTML, Javascript, SQL, PostgreSQL, Python, etc., and then switch to this course. I would have appreciated a better sound quality. Some lessons are recorded with a mono voice which makes it hard for headphone users (like me). Other than that I believe the instructor did a good job!

The course was very comprehensive and I learned a lot of new things. Thanks. The only minor issue that I have is that the GeoDjango material is rather limited. Other than that, the syllabus covers a lot of topics.

This course has been a terrific introduction to Leaflet / Django and Geoserver. This has been the only course where the installation of Geodjango (and sorting out the gdal dependencies) has actually worked first time on Windows (which has been very painful in the past). Tek responds quickly to questions and is keen to help. Only point for improvement would be that as well as the final code being given - that intermediate code stages are provided - but this is pretty minor.
