Introduction to MapServer

One of the most popular open source GIS applications is MapServer. Initially developed by the University of Minnesota, MapServer has evolved into a fast and easy-to-use internet map server.

“MapServer is an Open Source development environment for building spatially-enabled internet applications. MapServer is not a full-featured GIS system, nor does it aspire to be. Instead, MapServer excels at rendering spatial data (maps, images, and vector data) for the web.” – http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/
