*runs over 5 days from the 8th to the 12th of April 2013 at AIMS in

Learn how to set up and run a full enterprise GIS with Free and Open 
Source Software. We will cover the full stack: server platform, spatial 
database, web map servers, map tiling and caching, OGC web services and 
web map clients. Software includes OpenGeo Suite (PostGIS, GeoServer, 
GeoWebcache, GeoExt, OpenLayers) and Quantum GIS (desktop, server and 
web client).

CPD: 2 points (category 1b)

to PostGIS

*takes place on the 18th and 19th of April 2013 at AIMS in Muizenberg.

PostGIS is a spatial database that is more than just a spatial data 
store. With PostGIS, users, web map servers and other applications can 
all run off the same database. And beware! Doing spatial analysis in 
PostGIS can become addictive. We will cover installing PostgreSQL and 
PostGIS, loading data, performing spatial queries, doing spatial 
analysis with SQL and using PostGIS with QGIS.

CPD: 1 point (category 1b)

Registration and payment for these courses needs to take place before 
the 15th of March 2013. Follow the links above to find out more and to 
register.

I'll also be presenting Spatial Databases with PostGIS
