About the Author

Gábor Farkas is a PhD student at University of Pécs's Institute of Geography. He holds a master's degree in geography, although he moved from traditional geography to pure Geoinformatics early in his academic journey. He often studies Geoinformatical solutions in his free time, keeps up with the latest trends, and is an open source enthusiast. He loves to work with GRASS GIS, PostGIS, and QGIS, but his all-time favorites are open source web mapping technologies, which mostly cover his main areas of research interest.

There have been many kind-hearted and nice people in my life who have helped me in my career or private life by giving me great advice. However, there is one significant person who has made this book possible. I would like to dedicate this book to my advisor, Titusz Bugya, who gave me the tip of starting a blog about WebGIS in English. This blog eventually led to the writing of this book. So, thanks Titusz; this book is partially the result of your trust and effort.
