Description

Become a GeoServer professional and learn one of employer's most requested skills nowadays!This comprehensive course is designed so that GIS Professionals, Web Developers, Data Analysts and Scientists, Urban Planners and Engineers, Geography and Environmental Science Students… can learn GeoServer from scratch to use it in a practical and professional way. Never mind if you have no experience in the topic, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with total mastery of the subject.After several years working in Geographical Environment, we have realized that nowadays mastering GerServer is important to ensures geospatial data can be easily accessed and integrated across diverse platforms, enhancing collaboration and decision-making. Knowing how to use this tool can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits, especially in the world of Geospatial.The big problem has always been the complexity to perfectly understand GeoServer requires, since its absolute mastery is not easy. In this course we try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, so that you will be able to carry out and understand your own projects in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step, detailed and hands-on examples of every concept.With almost 8 exclusive hours of video, this comprehensive course leaves no stone unturned! It includes both practical exercises and theoretical examples to master GeoServer. The course will teach you how to manage, publish, and secure geospatial data using GeoServer’s comprehensive suite of tools and web services in a practical way, from scratch, and step by step.We will start with the setup of the needed work environment on your computer, regardless of your operating system and computer.Then, we'll cover a wide variety of topics, including:· Introduction to GeoServer and course dynamics· GeoServer Installation and Configuration· Data Management in GeoServer· Styling and Symbology· WMS (Web Map Service) Configuration· WFS (Web Feature Service) Configuration· WCS (Web Coverage Service) Configuration· Security and Access Control· GeoServer Extensions and Plugins· Monitoring Performance & Optimization· Advanced Topics and Future Trends· Mastery and application of absolutely ALL the functionalities of GeoServer· Practical exercises, complete projects and much more!In other words, what we want is to contribute our grain of sand and teach you all those things that we would have liked to know in our beginnings and that nobody explained to us. In this way, you can learn to build and manage a wide variety of projects and make versatile and complete use of GeoServer. And if that were not enough, you will get lifetime access to any class and we will be at your disposal to answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.Learning GeoServer has never been easier.
