[OSGeo Africa] HELP wanted with FOSS web map applications

[Gavin Fleming]

Hi Tsakane

[I changed the subject to something more informative]

Here's a tutorial for using QGIS to set up your map layers, publish them 
with QGIS map server and view them with QGIS web client: 
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/QGIS_Server_Tutorial

Your map services are (or should be) quite distinct from your web 
application. There are several manuals and tutorials around for setting 
up your map services using tools like QGIS server, Mapserver or 
Geoserver. Just Google around.

For a self-contained browser-based web application look for tutorials 
about GeoExt, OpenLayers, or Leaflet. (The QGIS web client mentioned 
above is built with GeoExt)

For a more sophisticated web application I'd recommend GeoDjango 
(http://geodjango.org/). There's a tutorial in the first page of its 
documentation.

Why don't you consider coming on our course in August, which covers all 
these topics:

http://www.fossgisacademy.com/courses/building-web-mapping-applications-with-foss-gis

let us know how it goes!
