In regards to my first thread, I think its best that I start all over. First, Iam new to this, I know GIS and I work in MapInfo and ArcMap.
Now I want to publish a map with several layers that is ontop of a GeoTIFF image. I came in contact with GeoServer and that was how my idea was initially born. But, seems I lack knowledge of this new field Iam venturing into - thats where this thread might come in handy for me and others. First I want to know: 1: What Is required to make it possible for users to surf into my computer and look at maps I made? I now Know that GeoServer is the server that a client talks to, the client is the service the user uses to see my maps. But, What client is easiest to use, I want a client that is visual, you drag buttons and point and click to create the interface. Does GeoServer have Everything that I need, I read about REST that from what I understand is a webclient, and I read about GeoEXT that I understand is a visual-creator to create the webclient interface, or did I get this wrong? What is this called, a server that show maps, is it called Mapserver, or WMS-server? - As you can see Iam a complete novice about this. Any help or links that points me to tutorials about this subject would be appreciated alot. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Help-me-get-started-tp6992313p6992313.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Geoserver-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users
