GeoServer Masterclass

Turn Spatial Data into Powerful Web Services

Publish. Style. Serve. Integrate.

GeoServer is the foundation of many modern open-source Web GIS solutions. It enables organizations to publish geospatial data as standards-based web services and make spatial information accessible across web applications, enterprise GIS platforms and spatial data infrastructures.

From Spatial Data to Web GIS

This hands-on training takes you through the complete GeoServer workflow—from connecting spatial databases and configuring datasets to publishing OGC services and integrating them into interactive Web GIS applications.

You will learn not just how to use GeoServer, but how GeoServer fits into a complete enterprise Web GIS architecture.

Spatial Data & Services

• Connecting GeoServer with PostgreSQL/PostGIS
• Publishing vector and raster data
• Coordinate Reference Systems and projections
• WMS, WFS and WCS services
• Layer Groups and service configuration
• GeoWebCache and tiled map services

Styling & Visualization

• Introduction to GeoServer styling
• SLD-based cartographic styling
• Applying styles to vector and raster layers
• Creating map visualizations for Web GIS applications

Integration & Enterprise Capabilities

• GeoServer REST API
• GeoServer security and access control
• Integration with OpenLayers
• Publishing services for Web GIS applications
• GeoServer administration and optimization
• Best practices for production deployments

Learn by Building

A Complete Web GIS Publishing Workflow

Rather than learning GeoServer through isolated examples, participants will work with real-world geospatial datasets and build a complete publishing workflow:

PostGIS → GeoServer → OGC Services → Web GIS

During the hands-on sessions, you will:

1. Create and configure a GeoServer workspace
2. Connect GeoServer to a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database
3. Publish spatial datasets as web services
4. Configure Coordinate Reference Systems
5. Create and apply map styles
6. Publish WMS/WFS services
7. Configure tiled map services
8. Consume GeoServer services in a Web GIS application
9. Explore GeoServer administration and security
