Course Description
OpenLayers is one of the most popular and powerful open-source, JavaScript-based web mapping libraries. OpenLayers allows us to develop functionally rich web mapping applications while supporting a variety of data sources.
This course is developed on the latest version of OpenLayers, and the fundamentals shall remain applicable on upcoming versions. It is designed to give you the necessary kick-start for becoming a successful WebGIS developer. The objective is to take out the fear of programming and make you a self-sufficient GIS developer.
At the end of this course, you will be able to start developing a web-mapping application on your own. You will learn how to use online documentation provided by OpenLayers. You will be able to debug the code and solve the problems by yourself.
All the best and Happy Learning :-)

Instructor Details
GIS Simplified
I am a GIS professional with more than 20 years of progressive experience.
I started my career as a software developer. During my early days, I use to do programming on ESRI ArcInfo software. After that ESRI had launched ArcView 3.x with Avenue as a programming language and then ArcGIS with ArcObjects as a base for application development. I kept on learning various programming language in line with upcoming technologies. I have managed large scale GIS and IT projects for Government and Corporates organizations.
Apart from a software developer, I am a coach and a tutor by heart. I am associated with reputed university of India for designing syllabus for their certificate, diploma and master’s course in GIS. I have conducted many train-the-trainer program and developed faculties who are now conducting GIS courses.
My industrial exposure and academic experience shall help you in getting most out of your investment in courses.
