Geoserver is open-source server software that allows you to publish your geospatial data as a web service. This course will explain what GeoServer is, why and when you need it. We will explore the basics of GeoServer using sample data on a local host version installed on your. computer. Then we will walk through the steps of setting up a project in GeoServer using your own data.

We will see how to set up GeoServer on a hosting service in the cloud, load your data to it, configure users accounts and set their privileges to view and edit your data, filter your data with SQLviews and CQL, and finally create your own web mapping applications that use your data from GeoServer so that you can share it with the world.
