Mark, I am not sure how much you would like to spend to learn about web
mapping but there is a company out of Seattle that is offering training in
OS web mapping.  Karsten Venneman has a lot of experience with web mapping
and has presented these sorts of classes on a number of occasions.  You
might want to check it out. http://www.terragis.net/gis-classes/os-web-gis/

Cheers
Gerry

Hello!

I'm a GIS Technician working in Vancouver, and I would love to learn more
about web mapping tools. I have downloaded the latest version of Mapserver
but I'm have some difficulty in setting it up. I have limited knowledge of
web development (when I graduated from University web mapping was still in
its infancy). I'm wondering if anyone out there can provide some user
friendly guidlines or training in using Open source GIS. Your help is
greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
