2014 OpenLayers 2 Workshop

Welcome to the OpenLayers Workshop. This workshop is designed to give you a comprehensive overview of OpenLayers as a web mapping solution. The exercises assume that you have set up a local GeoServer with the workshop data as described in the setup page.

The workshop has been adapted from the official Boundless OpenLayers workshop for the Open Source Opportunities in GIS Summer School. This course is coordinated by the GIS and Remote Sensing Centre of the University of Girona in collaboration with the Nottingham Geospatial Institute and Prodevelop.

The instructors of the OpenLayers workshop are:

  • Alberto Romeu
    • @alrocar
    • aromeu [at] prodevelop [dot] es
  • Jorge Sanz

This workshop is presented as a set of modules. In each module the reader will perform a set of tasks designed to achieve a specific goal for that module. Each module builds upon lessons learned in previous modules and is designed to iteratively build up the reader’s knowledge base.
