This workshop will provide a introduction to OGC services implementation with GeoServer and GeoWebCache, covering the basics and moving forward to more advanced topics. The workshop will cover: * Setting up vector data, such as shapefile and postgis, in GeoServer * Setting up raster data, such as geotiff, in GeoServer * Introduction to the Web Map Service protocol and usage of configured data from external clients * Integrating with Google Earth generating KML maps * Introduction to the Web Feature Service protocol and usage of configured data from external clients * Styling maps with Styled Layer Descriptor, creating styles with desktop tools and optimizing the styling to leverage GeoServer own custom extensions * Introduction to the Web Map Tile Service, with examples using the GeoServer embedded GeoWebCache * Introduction to the Web Coverage Service protocol, with examples on how to extract raster subsets In order to participate no previous knowledge of GeoServer and OGC services is required, but a basic knowledge of GIS concepts and basic data formats (shapefiles, geotiff) is recommended.
