Simple GIS Server Software Tutorials

This video tutorial will demonstrate the basics of setting up and using Simple GIS Server as a server for your shape file or imagery data to Simple GIS Clients in a client/server configuration.  Simple GIS server provides better performance than trying to use a file server on Local Area or Wide Area Network and can even serve your data across the internet.  Also provides multi-user read/write access to your shapefiles.  

• Basic navigation around the server configuration dialog box.
• Setting up the server network configuration settings.
• Adding shapefiles and imagery to serve to clients
• Adding data served by your server to Simple GIS Clients.

This video tutorial will demonstrate the basics of setting up and using Simple GIS Server on a hosted server instance and using the GIS Server Admin plugin to publish data directly from within a Remote Simple GIS Client application to a Simple GIS Server instance. 

• Installing and setting up you Simple GIS Server on an Amazon AWS EC2 hosted server.
• Publishing layers from a remote Simple GIS Client application to your Simple GIS Server instance as a client/server layer
• Publishing a map from a remote Simple GIS Client application to your Simple GIS Server as a WMS map.
• Publishing a map from a remote Simple GIS Client application to your Simple GIS server instance as a Tile Mapping Service (TMS) map.

This video tutorial will demonstrate the basics of setting up and using an AVL (Automated Vehicle Location) service in Simple GIS Server.  

• AVL settings and configuration in Simple GIS Server
• AVL settings in Simple GIS Client for field users
• AVL settings in Simple GIS Client for back office users

This video tutorial will demonstrate the basics of publishing a map created in Simple GIS Client as a Web Mapping Service ( WMS ) from Simple GIS Server.  In addition, this tutorial will also demonstrate using the open source OpenLayers java script library to create a web map application and publishing this application using Windows IIS web server.

• Creating and saving Map View Settings document from Simple GIS Client
• Loading this document into Simple GIS Server and publishing as a Web Map Service ( WMS ).
• Creating a Web Map application from the OpenLayers library to publish our new WMS map.
• Using the Windows IIS web server to create a new website and publish our web map application.
