OpenLayers is a powerful, community-driven, open-source, JavaScript-based web mapping library, which allows us to develop web mapping applications using a great number of geospatial data sources, data formats, and open geospatial standards such as from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).

This course focuses on the latest version of the Openlayers 6, and is the most comprehensive and modern Openlayers course you can find in UDEMY. It starts with very basics and goes all the way to advanced concepts. Once we master all the Openlayers concepts, we build a complete Openlayers project in the last section.

By the end of this course, you can build amazing web mapping applications using Openlayers.

So far, it's been a great learning experience. Although the course is outdated with the latest versions of OpenLayers, it still provides the right tools to quickly get up to speed with the latest version (I'm using OL 10.6.1). The instructor clearly explains the concepts, so it makes it even easier to review the documentation and follow the examples. I have even managed to replicate the examples with a React Frontend. So really great course! thanks!!

Very nice course! I already learned a lot. It would have been nice to add a chapter to show how to adapt the ol code examples and how to use the library with npm. Maybe additonal chapters how to work with extensions and to migrate to OL7 would be very helpful as well.

By Ergert Spahillari on 10/14/2021

Amazing. Course is very detailed and pretty simple, you dont need to have programming skills. Ikrom teaches very well, explaining all the details and steps , for every difficult JS function. Last project is a gem. So thanks Ikram, keep up the good work.

By Ismail Tengirşek on 7/9/2021

This course is really helpful for me. I was able to find all the information I needed in this course. I was able to get answers quickly to the questions I asked on some issues. While you learn about openlayer, you also learn how to use the openlayer documantation. Thank you for preparing this great course•

Very well described. Excellent idea to include a video on debugging. It would be nice if the code could start afresh more often because building on top of other sections ends up with a lot of clutter in the code and makes it a bit confusing when the tutorial scrolls through the code.

By Greg s.... on 10/4/2020

The subject matter is covered well and I learned a lot. I'm finally starting to get OL. I like that Nishanbaev goes into some detail about the apidoc since things are hard to find there which is probably due to the structure of OL (or is it JavaScript?). However the demonstrations are a bit rough. And there are many times where a bit more preparation on his part would have made the demos better. But I like that he's covering lots of ground in some detail. Code is available. A comment for Udemy. I could understand Nishanbaev quite well but the Transcript didn't, maybe Udemy needs for different accents to be considered.

Excellent.

By Steve on 9/29/2020

Really useful course to giving a good introduction to Open Layers. Presenter is excellent, really takes the time to explain and cover subjects. English is not fluent, but perfectly understandable. The odd mistake happens in code, but its really useful to see him debug and work out what is happening. There is some assumed knowledge in development skills, nothing too complicated but would be hard with no general understanding of HTML/CSS/JS. Some JS appears a bit janky, but totally understandable to keep simple and focussed on OS elements of course. Resources are good and presenter also appears active in the Q&A. Highly recommend, and will def look out for other courses by Ikrom. Thanks Highly recommend if
