Spatial Thoughts Newsletter #32
Free course on Python Foundation for Spatial Analysis, QGIS expressions for cartography, video channels on YouTube and Vimeo
Learn Python for Geospatial
One of our most popular courses - Python Foundation for Spatial Analysis - is now available on YouTube! The full course material - notebooks, datasets, and ad-free videos - is available freely for self-study.
We continue to offer this course through our academy - where participants can join paid live instructor-led sessions, get technical support, and earn certification.
New QGIS Tutorials for Cartography
We have collaborated with Toronto-based cartographer Steve Kim to create a new set of QGIS tutorials to help you learn advanced cartography techniques. I am excited to share the first two tutorials from this series.
Basic Filtering and Styling with Expressions: A gentle introduction to expressions to create a map of a chosen region using expressions to filter and apply a color ramp.
Creating a Block World Map: Explore conditional expression to create a stunning visualization of topography using a hex grid and 2.5d renderer.
GDAL Commands in Colab
By popular demand, we released a Colab Notebook showing how to install and run GDAL programs and integrate them with Python workflows. You can try the entire content of my Mastering GDAL Tools course in this Colab notebook
YouTube and Vimeo Channels
All my course materials have always been freely available and now we are also releasing videos for all our courses to enable everyone to learn more effectively. This is a lot of work to edit and curate these videos but I am hopeful that this will help many people fill gaps in their knowledge and learn advanced skills.
Check out our YouTube channel - where we share ad-free videos curated for online learning.
We also publish full-length videos on our Vimeo channel and allow video downloads for offline viewing.
Do let me know your feedback on the video content and how we can make them more useful.
Thank you very much for this such amazing, significant, and really nice information. Its like like a big cake with Geo-flavor
