Scott Davis has been teaching you how to create AJAX-based "slippy maps" for years. Whether you want to learn more about the industry standard Google Maps API, open source alternatives, or even how to roll your own from scratch, MapMap.org is your source for reliable, easy to understand explanations.
Now, Scott is pleased to offer GIS for Web Developers: a 3-day class through ThirstyHead.com. This in-depth class gives you hands-on experience building an open source GIS technology stack from the ground up. You will find free sources of GIS data on the web. You'll download desktop viewers and install command-line tools like GDAL. You'll learn how to reproject the data and store it in a spatially-enabled database, PostGIS. You'll publish and consume web services using the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) WMS and WFS interfaces supplied by GeoServer. Finally, you'll create Ajax-based slippy maps in a web page using OpenLayers.
