Workshops
Please bring along your own laptops with preinstalled QGIS 2.2 or QGIS 2.4 (developer version).
A: Tables, Forms, Widgets and Database Relations
QGIS 2.0 introduced a joint attribute-table and form-view in one shared window. Users can switch between the two modes. In parallel, new filter and selection methods had been introduced. QGIS 2.2. brought 1:n database relations and embeddable forms. In QGIS 2.4 there are under-the-hood technical changes to improve the maintainability and flexibility of the widget systems. In the workshop, users will learn how to work with tables, forms, widgets, database relations, the field calculator and expressions. Users will learn how to create a small application module (Fachschale) based on a simple data model with relations. Furthermore, a discussion will investigate what direction future QGIS development will/should take with respect to database relations and forms.
Workshop instructors: Matthias Kuhn, Denis Rouzaud
B: Print Composer and Atlas-Serial Printing
This workshop will present new functions that the print composer introduced recently. Based on examples, users will learn how to create map layouts including all common layout elements, such as map header, labels, rich-text-blocks, north-arrows, logos, tables, etc. The atlas serial printing allows to loop over objects or map sheets in a coverage table. There are "hidden" tricks how to highlight atlas features or hide other features that should not be visible in the current atlas map sheet. This functionality also allows to create data-sheets or simple reports with text, tables and photos. With the help of HTML-frames they can be styled individually and flexible and span multiple pages. A discussion should investigate users needs and future development to steer QGIS towards a more complete reporting system.
Workshop instructor: Andreas Neumann
C: QGIS Cloud and QGIS Server
QGIS Server is not only a WMS server (web mapping service) for delivering symbolized maps, but since a few months also a WFS server (web feature service) to deliver original vector data and a WCS server (web coverage service) to deliver original raster data. Already existing QGIS dekstop projects can be quickly customized to not only serve as a configuration for a Web-GIS, but also for the above mentioned Geoweb services. The QGIS cloud plugins allows to publish a QGIS project to the web without having to run a server infrastructure. Workshop attendees will learn how to configure a QGIS desktop project to be published as a a Web-GIS and the above mentioned geoweb services, using the QGIS cloud services.
Workshop instructors: Pirmin Kalberer, Horst Düster, Marco Hugentobler
