Requirements

Requirements
This course is not a beginner programming course. I assume you have some programming knowledge, i.e. what . variable is, what an expression is, what a loop is, what a function is, etc. But i do go over the basics of how all those things are implemented in python.

Knowledge

This course is broad rather than deep. My goal is that when finished, students have some knowledge of the tools in the python ecosystem for geospatial applications and more importantly, how they all work together. More detailed courses will be forthcoming. Some of the topics covered will be
An introduction to the language and its core principles.
An introduction to object oriented programming in python.
FInding and using third party python modules.
Working with the operating system
Working with files
Working with databases
Graphical user interfaces with PyQt5
Reading spatial data with GDAL/OGR
Visualizing data with matplotlib and other tools
Data Analysis with pandas and geopandas
Jupyter notebooks
Unit testing and version control
