Dear all, Bit of a geneal question this rather than something specific, but I've been following a few of the other queries on here talking about Open Layers, Geoserver and Google Maps, and it's reminded me that I really want to try and learn how to connect/convert my local PostGIS database into something that renders on a webpage. I realise that this is a big question, but wondered if anyone could give me a basic few steps as way of pointers - and then perhaps some links to more detail where I can go and learn how to do each step myself? I'm very happy to learn - just not sure where to start!
To be clear, at the moment I have a local database on my machine. I guess really I need to move this database to an online environment and host it somewhere? Then I need to build some webpages with a map, that interact with the database? There's no specific project here, just something I want to learn in my spare time as it'll be useful for the future. As you can see my knowledge of how to put all this together is a bit vague to say the least. If it helps I have basic experience of Java + Javescript including the Google Maps API, am decent at HTML and CSS, and am becoming familiar with PostgreSQL and PostGIS - I just don't know how to join them all up at the moment - or where the gaps in my knowledge are.
