Resource Description

Is your understanding of Cloud GIS a bit hazy? Does thinking about it leave you in a fog? We've designed GEOG 865, Cloud and Server GIS, to help you understand how all of the various pieces of architecture fit together. By the end of the class you'll have a clear understanding of esri's and others' offerings in the space, how to implement ArcGIS Enterprise on Amazon EC2, make online maps with Carto and Mapbox, and engage in some blue sky thinking of your own in our weekly discussions about trends and directions.

This resource is part of the following programs: Graduate Certificate in Geospatial Programming and Web Map Development, Master of Professional Studies in Homeland Security, Master of Science In Spatial Data Science, Masters of Geographic Information Systems, and Postbaccalaureate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems.
