Target audience

This workshop is targeted at developers that want to try out the GeoExt library.

GeoExt is based on OpenLayers and ExtJS, so a bit of background in these JavaScript libraries / frameworks doesn't hurt. It is not necessarily needed to have a deep understanding of the base libraries, though. All examples or tasks usually highlight the key aspects that make everything work together.

Some basic familiarity with JavaScript is assumed, but again, we will not dive to deep into the language, so basically any interested person will be able to understand what is going on.

In order to accomplish everything in the workshop, some OGC services (such as WMS and WFS) will be used. We should provide you with enough written background so you'll grasp the core of the tasks.

Still unsure if you can work through this material?

We strive to make this workshop as understandable as possible, so please try it out! If you fail or experience problems, just tell us so: We are really looking forward to getting feedback.
