Geographical Information System (GIS) is comprising of computer hardware, software and applications that captures, edit, analyze, manipulate and visualize geographic data.
GIS on web provide a new paradigm for how people from anywhere can access and use geographic information to take the meaningful decision, plan and execute operations. WebGIS enabled people use GIS maps on their desktops, tablets, and smartphones to perform sophisticated range of activities.
In this course we will be learning basics of GIS and web mapping application development. We will start with a brief introduction on What is GIS and then quickly move to Web Application Development which will cover right from installing GIS mapping libraries and database and gradually move towards developing our first web mapping application using simple HTML, Javascript and CSS.
Greetings!!!
