QGIS Class – Chattanooga TN April 29th 2014

Apr 3, 2014 | Chattanooga, Open Source GIS, QGIS, Training

The Intro to QGIS Class is coming to Chattanooga April 29th 2014. Right now the location is set for the Hamilton County Small Business Development Center.

100 Cherokee Blvd, Chattanooga, TN 37405

Synopsis:  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.

It’s $325 Per Seat.

I’m bringing the Mobile Lab so I have room for 10 people. BUT – if you so desire and you are one of those people – you know a MAC User – we can accommodate since QGIS runs on that platform as well and the class is platform independent.

I would also like to add that by the 5th of April we should have online payments set up for the first time. So stay tuned for that bit of excitement. If you want go ahead and email me to reserve a seat –  rjhale@northrivergeographic.com

I would also like to add that the next time you see QGIS Class it will be the data and editing one. Yes – this is going to be a trilogy by the end of summer.

I can sum it up: It's not much of one. Way back in my younger days I was infatuated with ArcPlot (which was the plotting portion of ArcINFO). From there I moved to Arcview, ArcMap, and eventually here to QGIS. All of my work typically revolves around Data. I usually...
