Any good online resources for understanding WMS, WFS, and WCS for someone who's only ever worked with map tiles using the https://domain.com/{z}/{x}/{y}.png request format?

PennState has some very good open education material especially for GIS topics. This one (lesson 4) covers WMS, but I'm sure other courses also cover WFS and WCS: https://www.e-education.psu.edu/geog585/node/696

I think that Geoserver's own docs are a good starting point:

https://docs.geoserver.org/2.22.x/en/user/services/index.htm...

The thing to remember is that WMS & WFS allow you to have a dynamic map, but the concept of that dynamic nature, is stuck in the late 90's

What more should they add? How would you like it improved? I am genuinely asking.
