This hands-on training will cover the complete cartographic workflow for the Web:

1. basic data access and symbolisation with the Quatum GIS;
   
2. map service creation with "Publish to Web" plugin;
   
3. advanced representation with cartographic rules;
   
4. creating more expressive maps with cartographic rules defining patterns for spatial features, SVG point symbols, and diagrams;
   
5. accessing and symbolizing sensor data with colour maps and contours

The training will take place at the Institute of Cartography, ETH Zurich
