Description
Introduction to Advanced GIS Server Administration (GeoServer II) Training Course
This 5-day course offers an in-depth exploration of GeoServer, a Java-based server for viewing and editing geospatial data. Participants will learn to administrate and publish GIS data with GeoServer, allowing them to create custom maps without relying on costly commercial software. With practical hands-on training, you’ll master configuring web services, applying filters, understanding GeoWebCache, and leveraging GeoServer extensions. By the end, you’ll be equipped to manage your own geospatial server environment and share data seamlessly using open standards.
