Intro to QGIS 2.6 November 6th 2014

So Naviagation Electronics loaned us their training favility – so the QGIS Intro Class comes to “Almost” inside the perimeter in Atlanta. There are 10 seats available. November 6th 2014 is the date. The last class (last week) really flopped due to me not advertising it – I was having too much fun preparing for the Georgia Geospatial Conference.

I’m also going to be a bit ambitious and update the class to cover the 2.6 version of the software which is due for release by the end of October 2014.

So – If you want to do something a bit different!

Length of workshop: Approximately 8 hours but can vary depending on attendees.

What to expect from this workshop: Learning new software can be intimidating for some especially if you are used to a certain product that you have been using for years. (Anyone remember switching from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcGIS Desktop 8.x?) Or perhaps you are new to GIS and looking for an affordable, user-friendly alternative to other popular GIS software. This is an introduction to QGIS that will get you familiar with the interface and many tools and features that will assist you with viewing, editing, analyzing, creating, managing, and serving GIS data in a variety of formats. Though QGIS is definitely a powerful tool to add to your GIS toolkit, it has some limitations and challenges that will be discussed in this workshop.

At the end of this workshop, you should have a good understanding of what QGIS consists of, pros and cons when using it, and feel informed to make your own decisions about how to incorporate QGIS into your project workflows.

Who might benefit from this workshop: Veteran GIS professionals, new GIS users, and anyone in between would benefit from this class.

Level of experience required for this workshop: Some prior knowledge/understanding/education in GIS is highly recommended. While not absolutely necessary, some of the terminology and concepts discussed may diminish the experience and overall usefulness of the workshop. However, if you are new to GIS and would like to attend this workshop, please contact us in advance to discuss how we can help you become workshop-ready!
