Take your spatial data science skills to the next level by learning the fundamentals of programming Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to manipulate spatial data, and manage, analyze and automate software workflows. Topics include introduction to object-oriented programming in GIS, data structures, flow control, vector and raster objects, manipulating geometry, tabular data, GUI tool creation, and using external services. Students will leave this course with confidence in their knowledge of manipulating GIS using an open source programming language (e.g. Python) - a highly desired skill set in spatial data sciences and all the related domains that work with GIS.
