This guide walks non‑specialist GIS developers through front‑end mapping with Vue, OpenLayers and Leaflet, back‑end processing with Java, GeoTools and PostGIS, and practical solutions for common GIS toolchain challenges.
This article traces the evolution of open source GIS from its early roots in MOSS and GRASS through key projects like GeoTools, GDAL, PostGIS, and GeoServer, and then details the components and typical open‑source stack of a modern WebGIS solution.
This guide shows how to load a GeoServer TileWMS layer in a Vue app with OpenLayers, configure map and line layers, add a selectable draw interaction for LineString geometry, capture drawn coordinates, and provides a complete Vue component example.
Learn how to download GeoServer, modify its port, start the server, prepare a shapefile dataset, create a workspace and store, publish the layer, and preview it via OpenLayers, following a complete illustrated workflow.
This tutorial walks through installing GeoServer, configuring it, publishing a Shapefile, and then editing the SLD style to modify line colors, with screenshots and a final preview using OpenLayers.
