GEG-238

Introduction to Geospatial Programming

This course teaches how to customize and automate Geospatial Information Science (GIS) applications using the Python scripting language. Automation can make your work easier, faster, and more accurate, and knowledge of a scripting language is a highly desired skill in GIS analysts. This course dedicates time to theory and implementation of the various scripting languages currently in use. Upon completion, students will be able to solve geospatial problems and streamline GIS workflows through the creation and modification of scripts. Students will be guided through a series of lectures and hands?on computer?based lab exercises. Course material used are based upon the United States Department of Labor?s Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GCTM) for entry level geospatial occupations including Geospatial or GIS Technicians or Technologists.
