I recently helped host a training session sponsored by GITA Rocky Mountain Chapter introducing various OpenSource Geo packages including PostGIS, GeoServer and OpenLayers with Cliff Inbau. I have been doing a bit of work refactoring some web maps for mobile friendliness and thought it would be worth sharing some of my musings with OpenLayers and jQuery. I had worked with jQuery a fare amount but hadn't touched OpenLayers. My interest in playing with it came from a talk given by Tory Alford entitled "GIS for the Mobile Web" which is worth looking at. Below you will find my deck and the hands-on tutorials. They haven't been vetted all that well but would welcome any feedback.
