Description

Ever worked on a GIS project (for uni or for work) where you had a mind-numbingly repetitive task that nearly drove you mad? Ever felt frustrated that a GIS package lacked the functionality that you really wanted? Applications in Geographic Information Analysis is an advanced GIS course that emphasizes creating custom applications of geographic information systems technologies for solving geographical problems. We will explore the potential for using a number of different automation technologies with GIS (e.g., Python and VBA) and you will build practical skills in implementing these technologies throughout the course of the class. The course has been designed to cater for students with no background or prior experience in programming.
