Set up your local environment for open source web GIS programming with a lightweight recording tool, a terminal debugger, and a preferred editor, and enable automatic code formatting on save.
Learn to add a leaflet tilelayer by initializing a map, configuring view coordinates, and linking an OpenStreetMap tile source to render the basemap in a web GIS app.
Learn to implement a layer controller in a web GIS app, manage multiple map layers and markers, and group layers for streamlined control using leaflet.
Install PostgreSQL by downloading the latest 11.2 installer and creating a spatial database. Explore coordinate systems and spatial features as you set up the environment.

Learn to customize the Django admin interface with the Leaflet library to visualize and edit geographic data on a map, including polygons, populations, and regional attributes.
Fix auto-generated django model content in a web geographic information system app by editing admin-loaded data, resolving decimal and digit validation errors, and updating geometry and related fields.
Introduce an open source geospatial server that publishes data from various sources using open standards, offers web map services and other outputs, and works with mapping libraries like Leaflet.
Navigate the Geoserver GUI to create a workspace, publish layers, and view WMS and WFS services, while configuring authentication, memory settings, and basic server administration.
Upload datasets to the server, create a new data store, and publish layers for visualization in leaflet by configuring data sources and bounding boxes.
update a layer's default style in a web GIS project by classifying data, renaming labels, applying colors, and saving and publishing styled layers for map use.
Implement a WMS with Django and Leaflet using GeoServer, configure static files and templates, and load multiple map layers with attribute-based filtering for vector data.
Add a legend to map layers by linking styles, loading legends from the style and layer configuration, and testing with publishing settings.
Configure a WMS image request in a leaflet-geoserver setup by mapping three layers with filters and parameters to zoom to specific areas and display district borders.
This course is mainly designed for the peoples who are highly interested in the web-mapping/web-GIS development. In this course, I mainly focused on the leaflet, GeoDjango, GeoServer, and PostGIS. Since it is a practical-based course, I directly started to write the code rather than making slides. After finishing this course, you will get a clear idea about the web-GIS and web mapping technology using open-source programming languages. Inside the course, you will find simple, effective, and alternative ways to do the tasks.
Leaflet: Leaflet is the leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. Weighing just about 39 KB of JS, it has all the mapping features most developers ever need.
GeoDjango: Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. GeoDjango intends to be a world-class geographic Web framework. Its goal is to make it as easy as possible to build GIS Web applications and harness the power of spatially enabled data.
GeoServer: GeoServer implements industry-standard OGC protocols such as Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Map Service (WMS), and Web Coverage Service (WCS). Additional formats and publication options are available as extensions including Web Processing Service (WPS), and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS).
PostGIS: PostGIS is an open-source software program that adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. PostGIS follows the Simple Features for SQL specification from the Open Geospatial Consortium.
