Developing a map application with OpenLayers

Description

As a developer, you are interested to add a map on your website? You want to let user be able to interact with it?

OpenLayers is a JavaScript library that enables you to display and query data from multiple sources in order to build a dynamic map in any web page

What is OpenLayers’ role in an open source web mapping stack? You will see in a few sequences how to create a map, add multiple layers, controls and events to interact with your map. Then you will see how to manage different data layer formats and projection. Finally, you will be able to improve your map to export it, and add support for mobile devices. Quiz and exercises will help you consolidate your new skills for each sequence.

Of course, these first steps are required before working on bigger projects. A lot of other features are available in OpenLayers, as vector editing, distance and surface measurements, vector tiles, 3D.

But, before working with these complex features, we strongly recommend to start with this introduction to get straight in the OpenLayers API! Are you ready to code? Let's get started.

Thank you for selecting our introduction to OpenLayers.
