Then we will walk through the steps of setting up a project in GeoServer using your own data.
We will see how to set up GeoServer on a hosting service in the cloud, load your data to it, configure users accounts and set their privileges to view and edit your data, filter your data with SQL views and CQL, and finally create your own web mapping applications that use your data from GeoServer so that you can share it with the world.
