About this course

Geospatial data is everywhere, but turning raw coordinates into interactive, functional web maps requires a specific set of development skills. This text-based course guides you through the process of building robust Web-GIS applications from scratch. You will transition from understanding basic geographic concepts to developing fully functional, database-backed web mapping applications. By combining the power of Django's spatial extension (GeoDjango) with PostGIS, GeoServer, and Leaflet, you will learn how to store, query, serve, and visualize geographic data. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Web-GIS concepts, spatial coordinate reference systems, and geographic data formats. - Configure a robust PostGIS database to store and query spatial data efficiently. - Publish spatial data layers using GeoServer via standard web protocols like WMS and WFS. - Build interactive, mobile-friendly map interfaces using the Leaflet JavaScript library. - Develop spatial APIs using GeoDjango to connect your backend database to your frontend map. - Apply modern deployment and environment configuration practices to launch your Web-GIS application. The journey begins with core geographic information system (GIS) definitions and database setup, then moves systematically through backend spatial logic, map rendering, and final deployment. You will learn through clear, written explanations, practical code examples, and structured configuration steps. This course is designed for web developers, GIS hobbyists, and database enthusiasts who are new to web mapping. No prior experience with spatial databases or web-GIS frameworks is required. Start building your first interactive web mapping application today.
