Survey of python for GIS applications
Introduction to the python language and ecosystem for GIS professionals
This course is broad rather than deep. My goal is that when finished, students have some knowledge of the tools in the python ecosystem for geospatial applications and more importantly, how they all work together. More detailed courses will be forthcoming. Some of the topics covered will be
An introduction to the language and its core principles.
An introduction to object oriented programming in python.
FInding and using third party python modules.
Working with the operating system
Working with files
Working with databases
Graphical user interfaces with PyQt5
Reading spatial data with GDAL/OGR
Visualizing data with matplotlib and other tools
Data Analysis with pandas and geopandas
Jupyter notebooks
Unit testing and version control
This course covers the basics of the python language, the python language, and the core python packages for data analysis, especially of geospatial data. The goal of the course is to provide a broad introduction to the capabilities of python and how all the various packages work together. This will provide a starting point for deeper exploration on your own or in future courses.
