It's a complete course to map your data with open source GIS: explore GIS tools, learn concepts and terminology of spatial analysis, learn how to analyze data, symbolize data and make your own maps, how to work with projections, vectorial and raster data, etc. The course is recommended to everyone who hasn?t worked on GIS and want to introduce to this type of technologies, as well as users that have knowledge about it already and want to increase it. At thos post you have all the links to the different videos: https://blog.gvsig.org/2017/08/01/learn-gis-for-free-the-complete-course/ Enjoy it! -- gvSIG Team -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: With a full year of hard work the GeoMoose team is proud to announce the official 3.0.0 release! This is the first major rewrite of GeoMoose in nearly 10 years. This newest version offers a great upgrade over the the 2.X line in GeoMoose: 1. Modern Javascript frameworks. GM3 is based on React, OpenLayers 4, JSTS, Babel, and Webpack. This makes GeoMoose development and deployment platform independent and easy to extends. Not a fan of React and ES6? No fear! GeoMoose?s examples are written in traditional Javascript. 2. We?re exercising even more standards. GM3 does not use PHP but still can perform identify, select, and buffer operations! It does this by using JSTS to do client-side geometry manipulation and the querying capabilities of WFS and FeatureServices. That also means no more MapServer templates! Templates can now be defined right in the mapbook using the Mark.up template engine. 3. There are so many other great features! Try the Demo and read the Quickstarts! . The full 3.0.0 documentation can be found here! Finally, a huge *thank you* to the MN.IT with the Minnesota DOT. They provided a lot of technical assistance, review, and funding for this release! https://www.geomoose.org https://www.geomoose.org/#geomoose-news -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
