Tutorial: Async. and Realtime Geo Applications with Node.js Node.js is a library built on Google's V8 javascript engine, which does non-blocking evented I/O via the libeio library. V8 is incredibly fast, (much faster than ruby/python) and can be used to create web-applications that can handle thousands of concurrent connections and real-time data. This tutorial will go through the process of creating an asynchronous and realtime geospatial web-app using the Node.js javascript server and bindings for the geo-stack. At the end of this tutorial we will...	Tutorial	Wed, 09/14/2011 - 10:00am - 10:30am	Kashif Rasul, Nomad Labs
Tutorial: A Spatial Wiki from the Ground-Up Wiki and Spatial tools make a powerful combination for building and maintaining location based knowledge. The workshop will present a complete exercise, building a Spatial Wiki from the ground-up hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance using 100% free and open source tools including Ubuntu, MediaWiki, Apache, GeoServer, OpenLayers, and PostGIS. Articles in the Wiki will be spatially enabled, and discoverable via the Wiki's built-in search capabilities, or a click-able map index. Spatial reference(s...

Tutorial: GeoServer Scripting with Python and RESTConfig GeoServer's RESTConfig service is commonly used to automatically publish geospatial data to GeoServer's OGC services. However, RESTConfig allows reading and writing nearly all aspects of a GeoServer configuration. Participants in this tutorial will learn about the GeoServer configuration system, basic REST requests, and the usage of gsconfig.py, a Python module which allows using the simple but powerful Python scripting language with RESTConfig to automate administrative tasks. ...

Tutorial: Building fast, flexible and secured WMS/TMS services with MapProxy MapProxy is an open source proxy for geospatial data. It caches, accelerates and transforms data from existing map services and serves any desktop or web GIS client. MapProxy offers tiled services similar to TileCache and GeoWebCache, but it offers a lot more functionality for systems that goes beyond a simple tile cache. This tutorial shows the installation and the basic configuration of MapProxy. Attendees will lern how to: - setup a cascaded WMS service that supports on-the-fly...

Tutorial: PyWPS yWPS is a Python implementation of OGC's WPS 1.0.0 protocol on the server side. PyWPS development started in 2006 and was first presented in FOSS4G 2006 at Lausanne. Originally it was written with direct support for GRASS GIS modules, however it is not limited to GRASS only, any sort of GIS functionality written in Python will be served as a WPS. PyWPS distribution does not include any processes by default. The user has to program his or her custom ones and add them to PyWPS instance. The...

Tutorial: Map Caching with GeoWebCache GeoWebCache is a Free and Open Source Java web application used to cache map tiles coming from a variety of sources such as OGC Web Map Service (WMS). It implements various service interfaces (such as WMS-C, WMTS, TMS, Google Maps KML, Virtual Earth) and a tile caching mechanism in order to accelerate and optimize map image delivery. It can also recombine tiles to work with regular WMS clients, and can serve tiles directly from an ArcGIS Server cache. This hands-on tutorial will...

Tutorial: User Friendly Web Processing Services (WPS)-No programming needed Spatial Data Infrastructures have evolved from concepts to reality in the last decade. However, they are still focused on data retrieval and visualization. To proceed in the direction of a true Spatial Information Infrastructure, it is evident to take the processing of geodata into account. The OGC Web Processing Service Interface (WPS) is the most promising standard to address geoprocessing in a standardized manner. Several free and open-source WPS implementations exist....
