Cloud & Server Gis

This course will teach students how to conduct geocomputing in the cloud with server resources. Emphasis will be placed on using a cloud-based platform and the Esri web technologies (ArcGIS Server, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Online) commonly used by US government agencies and the military to disseminate geospatial information. Students will learn how to use REST APIs to access and analyze web services. The principles of server architecture as it relates to serving vector and raster data will also be a topic of concern. This course would teach students Geospatial Data Management skills ("GEOINT Essential Body of Knowledge", 5). The prerequisite for this course is DS 431.
