Python for Geographic Information System (GIS)
21 HoursA geographic information system (GIS) is a specialized system designed for capturing, storing, manipulating, analyzing, managing, and presenting spatial or geographic data. Sometimes, the acronym GIS is used to denote geographic information science (GIScience), which refers to the academic field that studies these systems and falls under the broader discipline of geoinformatics.
The integration of Python with GIS has significantly grown over the past two decades, especially following the release of Python 2.0 in 2000, which introduced numerous new programming features that greatly simplified its use. Since then, Python has been widely adopted not only by commercial GIS products like those from Esri but also by open-source platforms such as QGIS and GRASS. Currently, Python is undoubtedly the most commonly used language among GIS users and developers.
This program focuses on using Python along with advanced libraries such as geopandas, pysal, bokeh, and osmnx to develop your own GIS functionalities. Additionally, it includes introductory modules covering the ArcGIS API and QGIS toolbox.

QGIS for Geographic Information System
21 HoursA geographic information system (GIS) is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS can also refer to geographic information science (GIScience), which is the academic field that studies these systems and falls under the broader discipline of geoinformatics.
QGIS serves as a geographic information system (GIS) software enabling users to analyze and modify spatial data, as well as create and export graphical maps. It supports both raster and vector layers; vector data can be in point, line, or polygon formats. QGIS handles multiple raster image formats and can georeference images. In essence, it allows users to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial information on Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD.
In the initial phase of this program, we will introduce the general use of the QGIS interface. During the second phase, we will cover PyQGIS—the Python libraries for QGIS—which allows you to integrate GIS functionalities into your Python code or applications, enabling you to develop your own Python plugins based on specific GIS features.
