Mastering Geospatial Data Management and Visualization with PostGIS, GeoServer, and QGIS

PostgreSQL and PostGIS Tutorial: Installation and Visualizing Shapefile Data with GeoServer

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing PostgreSQL and PostGIS, a popular geospatial extension for PostgreSQL. We will also show you how to download and install GeoServer, an open source server that allows you to serve geospatial data as web services.

Once we have set up the necessary software, we will demonstrate how to create a database and user in PostgreSQL, and how to import and visualize shapefile data using QGIS. We will also cover the process of setting up a new workspace and adding a PostGIS data store in GeoServer.

By the end of this tutorial, you will have a solid understanding of how to work with geospatial data in PostgreSQL and GeoServer, and how to visualize shapefile data using QGIS. Whether you're a GIS professional or just getting started with geospatial data, this tutorial will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to get started.
