Share real-time maps quickly
Boost your map server's performance using the power and flexibility of GeoServer

Description

GeoServer is an opensource server written in Java that allows users to share, process, and edit geospatial data. This book will guide you through the new features and improvements of GeoServer and will help you get started with it. GeoServer Beginner's Guide gives you the impetus to build custom maps using your data without the need for costly commercial software licenses and restrictions. Even if you do not have prior GIS knowledge, you will be able to make interactive maps after reading this book. You will install GeoServer, access your data from a database, and apply style points, lines, polygons, and labels to impress site visitors with real-time maps. Then you follow a step-by-step guide that installs GeoServer in minutes. You will explore the web-based administrative interface to connect to backend data stores such as PostGIS, and Oracle. Going ahead, you can display your data on web-based interactive maps, use style lines, points, polygons, and embed images to visualize this data for your web visitors. You will walk away from this book with a working application ready for production. After reading GeoServer Beginner's Guide, you will be able to build beautiful custom maps on your website using your geospatial data.

Who is this book for?

If you are a web developer with knowledge of server side scripting, have experience in installing applications on the server, and want to go beyond Google Maps by offering dynamically built maps on your site with your latest geospatial data stored in MySQL, PostGIS, MySQL, or Oracle, this is the book for you.

What you will learn

• Install GeoServer quickly
• Access dynamic real-time geospatial data that you can easily integrate into your own web-based application
• Create custom styles for lines, points, and polygons for great-looking maps
• Command GeoServer remotely using REST
• Tune your GeoServer instance for performance
• Move GeoServer into production
• Learn advanced topics to extend GeoServer s capabilities

Fillock Feb 20, 2019

This is my first experience with Geoserver and I picked this book since it had the charming; "Beginner's Guide" in the title.The author has deep knowledge of the different topics of opensource software, server functionality, and map making. Certainly, it's a wide and complicated topic ranging all from security, server speed, map-making, map-styling, other free tools and a huge bunch of other topics, and the book makes a strong and good overview. If I would say one negative thing about the book, it's that the authors strongest side also may be his weakness; his wide experience and deep know-how makes him dig into topics beyond a beginners guide. A complete noob like me would likely know; "how to make a map as simple as possible and host it so others can see it on the internet?", and after that, you can start to add complexity. After I finished the book I still don't know this (maybe I missed it somewhere, I learned a lot about how to publish maps on my local network though).Anyhow; this book is so full of advice, extra tools, and best practice that I can't say I would have been without either. Everyone with ambitions on GeoServer should read it I would say.

There is hardly any content in the book. It is an endless pages of screen shots of GeoServer administration. You dont need this book.

About the author

Iacovella

Stefano Iacovella is a long-time GIS developer and consultant living in Rome, Italy. He also works as a GIS courses instructor, and he has a PhD. in Geology. Being a very curious person, he developed a deep knowledge of IT technologies, mainly focused on GIS software and related standards. Starting his career as an ESRI employee, he was exposed to and became confident with proprietary GIS software, mainly the ESRI suite of products. In the last 14 years, he has become more and more involved with Open Source software, also integrating it with proprietary software. He loves the Open Source approach and really trusts in the collaboration and sharing of knowledge. He strongly believes in the Open Source idea and constantly manages to spread it out, not limiting it to the GIS sector. He has been using GeoServer since release 1.5 by configuring, deploying, and hacking it on several projects. Other GFOSS projects he uses and likes are GDAL/OGR, PostGIS, QGIS, and OpenLayers. He is the author of the GeoServer Cookbook, which consists of a set of recipes to use GeoServer at an advanced level, by Packt, and he has also authored the first edition of this book. When not playing with maps and geometric shapes, he loves reading about science, mainly Physics and Maths, riding his bike, and having fun with his wife and two daughters, Alice and Luisa.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
