Two parallel approaches to sharing and displaying spatial data will be presented. One approach is building your own open-source stack of GIS software using the Postgresql database with the POSTGIS extension, the GIS platform Quantum GIS, the map server Geoserver and the viewer GeoExplorer. The other approach leverages the Google Maps API via JavaScript programming and may touch upon jQuery, server-side scripting with Python, and Ajax along the way.
