[Pywps-dev] WebGIS development

[Jáchym Čepický]

Hi Lorenzo,

sorry for late response - this mail is sitting in my mailbox and I was 
never able to get on it. I hope, it is not too late.

You are asking for rather complex question. Technologies you need to 
manage somehow are - on the server side

* GIS tool you want to use for your analysis (GDAL, GRASS, R, ...)
* Python as tool for GIS tool integration together with PyWPS
* Understand how PyWPS works and how to configure it
* Maybe some datase?
* MapServer or GeoServer for background map servering

On the client side

* JavaScript as language and modern technology, the build stack of 
nowadays libraries (webpack or gulp, ...)
* Mapping library (Leaflet or OpenLayers or anything else)
* understand asynchronous code execution and XML parsing on the client
* GUI library (ReactJS or something simplier)
...

It's not task for weekend project for single coder, not many developers 
do have such complex skill set (usually, they stick to one technology, 
you will have to manage several).

I (or other members of the list) could give you some advice, what to use 
for particular technology for each step.

You are writing, you already have WPS service instance. Next you 
probably need to create web mapping application (MapServer or GeoServer 
at the backend, and Leflet and OpenLayers on the frontend).

Do you have some code on github or elsewhere already?
