Announcing an Intro to QGIS and PostGIS December 8-9 2015

Oct 12, 2015 | Atlanta, FOSS4G, Open Source GIS, postgis, QGIS

I talk about QGIS a lot. I admit it. I also talk about the Intro to QGIS Class a lot.

Well. There were plans a while back to add a second day and I toyed with a “intermediate” QGIS Class. I still have the class and I’m still trying to decide how that works.

In August (2015) I did the Intro to QGIS Class and Spatial Focus’s Sara Yurman did the Intro to PostGIS class she had developed. It worked. We had a strong desktop offering and a really strong introduction to databases. We did this in one day – but we’ve got enough material for two days.

So introducing the two day class – Introduction to QGIS and PostGIS. So what will we cover? As much as we can but for the sake of an announcement: QGIS:

  • Interface and installation
  • Symbology
  • Map Production
  • Editing
  • Plugins

PostGIS:

  • Loading vector data from shapefiles, geodatabases or spreadsheet
  • Address data
  • Offline editing
  • Backup and maintenance
  • Setting up permissions for workgroups

Location: Decatur Georgia 
Price: $325 per day or $600 for both days
Dates: December 8-9 2015 and February 2-3 2016 

With this lineup – we’ve got a lot of room for expansion. Like possibly web mapping or mobile data collection or whatever we wish. Make plans to attend.

I don't know if I would label this exercise as fun but I've learned alot. I don't do a ton of data collection these days. At one time a few years ago I was out in the field with Fulcrum, a laptop, and sketchy internet for days at a time. These days I'm hardly ever...
