Introducing the QGIS Part II Class.

Feb 28, 2014 | Open Source GIS, QGIS, Training

We’ve got more to talk about than space currently. We’ve had a Introduction to QGIS class and have taught it several times. I remember the first time I offered it no one showed up. The last time we were approaching half full and everyone left (it seemed) capable of opening the software and doing something with it. Which is what we want – use this piece of software as an additional tool in your toolbox.

The question came up about a part II to the class and after a discussion there’s going to be a II and III. Yes – we’re going to eventually have a three day QGIS offering going all the way from “this is the interface” to “store your data in a database”

So what does the second one cover? In no Particular order:

  • Creating Shapefiles
  • Creating Spatialite databases
  • Converting Data
  • Symbology
  • Geoprocessing
  • Databases (spatialite/postgis)

We are in the middle of writing it now so it will be out soon. I know – QGIS Part II is pretty lame for a class name. It’s probably going to be Data and Editing: QGIS 2.2. How much will it cost – we are still hashing through that one. This one will be more involved but it’s not going to be significantly more than the intro class which is priced at $325.

So anyway – prepare for some more QGIS goodness.
