A new class. A new 4 hour class I should say. The FOSS4GNA call for papers/workshops is currently ongoing. I’ve decided to change things up a bit and not submit an intro class but try a “QGIS: Tips and Tricks” class. That was my submission and hopefully it gets some traction at the conference.
While I was at the TN GIS meeting I did a Mergin Maps Class. During that class I realized that I wasn’t quite hitting on all cylinders because you really needed a strong Intro to QGIS before tackling Mobile and I’m a bit tired of Intro – it’s a good class but I like things a bit more complicated. During the last Intro class I realized I wasn’t hitting on all cylinders because most everyone there wanted something a little more advanced….but not advanced.
I’m going to cover about 16 topics (or 12 or 10 or whatever) over 4 hours. A few topics I’ve covered in classes and a few I’ve covered on the blog but with working examples we can all work through. As of today the list will be (and it’s going to change):
- Release Schedule (probably will be tossed)
- QGIS Projects
- Profiles
- Geopackages
- Forms
- CAD Tools
- Temporal Controller
- SQL
- Virtual Layers
- Geoprocessing
- Command Line Tools
- Model Builder
- GPS Panel
- Views
I want to cap it at 16 things so I may shed the release cycle for aggregate functions. I may add something else in and make it 17 things. Whatever the case – it will be 4 hours so maybe we don’t cover everything but you get everything for the class.
Pricing and scheduling is coming in the next week or so. I figure if I devote an hour or two a day to this I should have it done shortly and ready for a test run.
