Introduction to web programming for GIS applications (Udemy.com)

Great to get the skeleton for full stack development of coding in HTML, CSS, JS, SQL. A lot of syntax needs to be updated. I had to look up current JS functionality to in order to get the webmap to work (good for real world practice). If you want minimum effort on your end and have a completely finished project would recommend a different course (if he hasn't updated this one). The backend information was a plus a thoroughly appreciated that aspect of the course.

For me, this was a fantastic learning experience and I recommend the course--it delivers what the course description describes. The instructor (Michael Miller) lays out a clear path from the very beginning basics to a fully completed web-GIS project. This is the third course I've completed with this instructor--they have all been professionally put together and offer tremendous value for someone willing to invest a little study time. The instructor leads you through an explanation of the material and then through the actual coding. With a little diligence and some occasional help from google/stackoverflow, you can build the complete code yourself--I did. Completed code templates are not included--the learning experience is in following the lectures and coding along, and when necessary doing a little online research. When there are the occasional difficult code pieces or application configuration challenges, the Q&A generally contains a fix/bridge over the challenge.

Goed om te weten hoe HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP en AJAX elkaar versterken, al is het maken van een GIS-webapplicatie na het volgen van deze introductie zoals verwacht nog een brug te ver. Deze cursus krijgt van mij 5 sterren, omdat: - de samenhang tussen HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP en AJAX goed tot uitdrukking komt. - de GIS-component voldoende aandacht krijgt. - docent Michael Miller aangeeft dat hij veel tijd heeft gestoken in het maken van deze cursus. - ik Michael Miller wil steunen in het blijven ontwikkelen van uitstekende cursussen.

The instructor of this course, "Introduction to web programming for GIS" is clearly an expert on the subject matter and I am pleased that he is willing to share his wealth of knowledge through the Udemy platform. I found the course content, descriptions and demonstrations of open source GIS web technologies to be very helpful. It is very difficult to find training on open source GIS and this course is comprehensive in the way the technologies are explored and presented, providing the opportunity to develop GIS in the open source environment.

I'm so glad I found this course back in April. It was just what I needed in this ever evolving GIS industry. I might be exaggerating, but this course is worth more than its price tag. Mike is very experienced and knows what he's doing, he brings everything he has learned into the table. He has created a great series of courses which are all important if you want to be a GIS Developer/Programmer. I would also recommend his blog which has some very nice articles regarding GIS. I hope he keeps making great contents as he always does.

Perfect course for me. It covered a lot of mandatory material that I knew must exist for both the web in general and GIS functionality specifically; but for which I knew little about. All of this in a focused and comprehensive introduction to the key components required to establish a complete end to end workflow for getting GIS data onto the web without any extraneous distractions. Describes data flows from one end of the pipe to the other, client to server, and back again. Wonderfully comprehensive and yet concise; indeed a fine balance. Yes, there is still stuff to learn but the bonus material was excellent as well. I currently have another two of Mr. Miller's courses in the queue to look forward to and will likely buy the remaining two as well. Fantastic value for the money--especially when discounted.

It is an excellent course, but It is for people who has experience on developing web sites, creating databases and programming essentials like using fors,arrays,while,etc. although the teacher explains some of them the student has to have experience on those themes and if I had not had experience on ajax, php or databases I could be little frustrated with all the knowledge that He gives you. And the teacher explains very well and the way he explains each line of code gives you a good idea what the code does.

Excellent course for someone with some knowledge of programming and mapping. Sections on leaflet, qgis, and postgis were handled well and even paced. Some portions of php and jquery were sometimes at a faster pace and covered in less depth. Small discrepancies in final versions of code displayed in lesson could present some students a challenge in following along and producing the same results, but in the end it was good practice to debug my own code to determine if I was really following it. Look forward to viewing other courses by Michael.

Michael is an incredibly knowledgeable instructor who assumes no prior knowledge. The course content builds up from some very basic coding practices to complex interaction between client and database via a server. Although it was not expected that the exercises were completed I did indeed follow along and now have a fully-functional webapp that I can modify to suit my needs. For an introduction, this course covers an incredibly wide range of concepts covering not only the display and processing of spatial data but also some internet security measures and even a little history thrown in which makes it much easier to understand the possibilities and limitations of Web GIS. I am thoroughly looking forward to starting Michael's Leaflet course.

Because of the information are concise and directly to the point, highlighting the main concepts that a beginner web developers should know about them. The only down side is that the course doesn't cover how to host a web gis application on a personal computer as a web server. But, I enjoyed and learned a lot. Definitely recommended! Fabio
