Description
Take your QGIS skills to the next level by learning how to write python scripts to automate QGIS. This course was created using QGIS 3.8 and the material should be valid for many years to come as there are not expected to be major changes to the PyQGIS package after the recent change to QGIS 3.0. All you need for this course is a basic understanding of QGIS and Python. We will be using the editor included with QGIS to write scripts.
Python scripts are much simpler than a full-blown QGIS plugín and the material in this course is focused on the GIS professional who is looking to use python scripts to improve their productivity, rather than the professional programmer. In my work, I have found this knowledge to be indispensable and I can't imagine working in GIS without having some level of scripting ability. I believe that by the end of this course you will feel the same way.
Who Should Attend!
- QGIS users who want to take their skills to the next level by learning how to automate their GIS processes and create solutions that are unable natively in QGIS
