Introduction to Kitware web technologies

The goal of the training is to get a somehow exhaustive overview of the different Kitware visualization-over-the-web technologies, especially local rendering, remote rendering, data management and geospatial data visualisation.
Participants will be able to setup, run and play with the different web solutions to get a concrete feel of the tools. 
While we won’t get in-depth on each presented technologies, the goal is to understand the difference between the Kitware web technologies.
No web development knowledge (Javascript, React, Vue, Apache…) is required. Being an existing user (or developer) of VTK or ParaView is a plus.
