Requirements

In order to make the tutorial more efficient, participants are advised:

  • to get a free DART license before the training.
  • to get an overview of the DART User Manual
  • to make a few exercises of work packages 1 and 2 of DART User Manual.

W09: Geopaparazzi: never out of data in the field (Andrea Antonello) @ Research Unit, 1st Floor: Android mobile device with Android 4.1 or later

W10: Building Standards Compliant Geospatial Web Applications – the Quick and Easy MapMint Way (Grald Fenoy) @ Research Lab, 1st Floor: Install VirtualBox in your computer and download OSGeoLive 12 and setup as
