Working with MapBuilder
 
This workshop will explain how to work with MapBuilder to present maps and other
information in your web pages.  The first half will be a beginner level tutorial
including a short introduction, demonstration of a few configurations together with
ideas on how to include them with the layout of a web page.  The second half of the
workshop will present more advanced design concepts as well as instruction on how to
extend and customize the default installation.

MapBuilder is an OSGeo project allowing you to easily add interactive and dynamic
maps to your web site.  

Using MapBuilder, web designers can concentrate on the presentation and usability in
HTML with additional presentation information provided using CSS and XSL.  The
content and style of the maps themselves are typically defined using Web Map Context
documents, with maps served via WMS, however the modular design framework allows
MapBuilder to work with many other document types (GeoRSS, Google, other OGC web
services, etc.).  MapBuilder also supports rendering of vector graphics (WFS, GML)
and transactional WFS.

MapBuilder implements a framework for dynamic web page content from XML documents
using AJAX.  MapBuilder consists of a JavaScript library that implements the
Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.  These objects  (the model, the view and
the controller) are configured using the MapBuilder configuration file. 

This workshop will explain how to work with MapBuilder to present maps and other
information in your web pages.  The first half will be a beginner level tutorial
including a short introduction, demonstration of a few configurations together with
ideas on how to include them with the layout of a web page.  The second half of the
workshop will present more advanced design concepts as well as instruction on how to
extend and customize the default installation.

The target audience for this workshop are those tasked with implementing applications
and have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, XML and JavaScript.
