Workshops¶

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

Introduction to the OpenGeo Suite

This course, presented at FOSS4G, will introduce attendees to the OpenGeo Suite, a complete web mapping solution. The course will include an introduction to spatial analysis with PostGIS, loading and serving data with GeoServer, map optimization with GeoWebCache, styling, composing, and publishing maps with GeoExplorer, and creating your own web map applications with OpenLayers and GeoExt.

Introduction to PostGIS

As presented at FOSS4G, this workshop introduces the PostGIS spatial database. Installation, loading data, configuration, spatial SQL queries, indexing, tuning and viewing are among the topics touched on in this overview workshop.

Introduction to GeoServer

As presented at FOSS4G. Learn to load, style, and publish maps and data using GeoServer.

Introduction to OpenLayers

As presented at FOSS4G. How to create an embedded map, add layers, use controls, add markers and other useful topics for getting started with the OpenLayers Javascript map component.

Developing OGC Compliant Web Applications with GeoExt

First presented at FOSSGIS, this workshop introduces GeoExt as a web mapping frontend to OGC Web Services (OWS). Create a map application with a WMS browser, a WFS-T editor, and more.

Introduction to GXP

GXP is a client-side JavaScript library, built on top of OpenLayers, GeoExt, and Ext JS, that creates an extensible framework for web mapping applications. The purpose of GXP is to make it simpler to add layer types and tools, and ultimately make creating web mapping applications as simple as providing JSON configuration. This workshop will introduce basic GXP concepts, as well as the development environment builder, ReadyGXP.

Spatial Database Tips and Tricks

How to use the power of spatial databases to make your web mapping applications more powerful. Spatial SQL queries, binding the web to the database, and web architectures.

The Open Source Geostack

First presented at Where 2.0, this workshop introduces a complete set of open source components: PostGIS spatial database, GeoServer application server, OpenLayers user interface, GeoWebCache content accelerator and QGIS desktop application.

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.
