The course offers students the skills and knowledge to create web mapping applications. The syllabus covers web cartography and technology, web standards e.g. W3, OGC, geographic data formats for the web, server-side/client-side architecture, and web map design principles. Students learn to design and create multiscale maps, create and encode cartographic symbolization, and use web tile maps. The course also delves into basic web page development tools e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, open-source web mapping libraries e.g. Leaflet, and server-side geographic data publishing e.g. Geoserver. By the end of the course, students will build online cartographic applications with backend e.g. Geoserver, SLD and frontend tools e.g. geojson, Javascript. They will also use off-the-shelf and cloud tools e.g., commercial GIS / ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online, FOSS / QGIS and QGIS2Web tool.
