Course Description
For years I've been hearing everyone talking about Enterprise GIS, but I haven't seen anyone do it. After this course, I can now say that "I've created a multi-user enterprise GIS on my own!" - John from California.
Do you want to learn how to build an Enterprise GIS from scratch using Free and Open Source Software for GIS (FOSS4g)?
In response to the high cost and complexities of implementing an Enterprise GIS, I created this easy-to-follow, hands-on training course allowing students to actually build a multi-user enterprise GIS from scratch using Postgres, PostGIS (free) and Quantum GIS (free). As an added bonus, this training will show how you can add other GIS products (i.e. commercial GIS software) into the enterprise stack as GIS clients.
In this course you will create an Enterprise GIS that includes vector and raster data for a mid-sized municipality. You will learn how to add users, each with different permissions for accessing and editing data, and also how to use PostGRES to control all aspects of database access, presentation, and editing. You'll even perform simultaneous multi-user editing on the same GIS layer, and learn how a true Enterprise GIS can manage many users at once.
As a bonus, you will see how you can access all the GIS tools from outside of the software by using python to create a table-top GIS application that you might find at a kiosk. And finally, I will show you an example of how the same data in the enterprise can be simultaneously displayed on the Internet using FOSS4g software.

It was an excellent course and it has definitely achieved its objective as it has given me the confidence to set up an enterprise GIS without having to use super-expensive consultants who make it sound like it is top-secret magic. My only recommendation is that the course is updated as I have completed it in 2024 and as the course pointed out, opensource software changes rapidly. I therefore had to rely on Google in following the course steps but using the most recent, stable version of the different software. I will definitely be telling all those I know about this course and encouraging them to complete it as they work in public sector organisations and therefore cannot afford the expensive software and consultants. Thank you so much!

I am excited for further learning

Course does seem to be a bit outdated, we are currently at ArcGIS10.6, but the fundementals are good.

I am still doing this course. However, up to now, I can say that the course is very basic and is not updated. Maybe my rate can change at the end of the course.

Communication is precise and clear. Instructor knows what to deliver and how much to deliver for students ranging from beginner to expert level.

The course is outdated and very superficial
By Hernan Galvis on 5/27/2020
Buena eleccin, hay algunos pocos fallos en los subititulos pero lo demas esta bien.
Los plugins de qgis que se utilizan ya no estan disponibles en las versiones actuales
By Susmita Das on 5/26/2020
This is really good one to learn in small steps and hope its going to help me a lot to add in my resume!
By Orlando Chacon on 5/26/2020
It was a very well explained, hands-on, tutorial for learning the basics of PostGIS (maybe enough for creating intermediate or advanced applications). This helped me to start using PostGIS with confidence.

The course was very well put together
