Web & Mobile GIS, the combination of web, mobile technology, and GIS, is a promising and fast-growing field. It has extended the power of GIS from local servers to the cloud, and put online maps and geospatial intelligence in multiple aspects of human society. This course aims to provide students with the essential knowledge needed for managing web & mobile GIS projects, teach students the latest geospatial cloud technologies needed for building modern web GIS applications, and inspire students with real-world case studies. To cultivate the spirit of open source, all the required software, packages are open source, and the course handout will be shared on GitHub. If you have any further inquiries about this course, please contact Bo Zhao via email zhaobo@uw.edu.
