I’m trying to display on the web (read as create a GIS Web app) topo data layers stored in a POSTGIS/POSTGRES spatial database using mapserver. My problem is, although i happened to come across different gis frameworks that I could use, my lack of experience on using mapserver in the first place makes me indecisive of which framework to use.

    • Mapfish (I think python and C based and ideal with mapserver)
    • GeoServer (java based)
    • Featureserver (RESTful, light and effective)

    Other interesting links:

    • GEOEXT provides an excellent extension for openlayers
    • Boston GIS provides excellent tutorials so does Paul Ramsey and Chris Schmidt
    • The mother GIS – Free Open Source Software OSGEO
    • FreeGIS – Continually updated list of free and related GIS software

    I’ve used Geoserver and Feature server on multiple occasions, and never got deep into mapserver. I know that Mapserver has a big community and they love helping out, check them out on IRC and their mailing list.
