Geospatial Python Programming with QGIS

Would you like to learn how to enhance your open source mapping using coding? This free, two-hour workshop from the Map and Data Library will give you a hands-on introduction to geospatial Python programming using QGIS. Designed for learners who have some basic knowledge of GIS and Python, we’ll explore how Python can be used to automate workflows, perform spatial analysis, and interact with desktop GIS environments using QGIS and its Python API.

Together, we’ll work through interactive coding exercises and explore real-world use cases, including spatial data processing, map automation, and error handling. We’ll focus on using PyQGIS, the Python API for QGIS, to build custom scripts and explore how Python can extend QGIS's functionality. We'll also briefly explore how Python can be used to develop your own custom QGIS plugins and standalone scripts.

Format:

• Instructor-led, in-person workshop.

• Discussion and live demonstrations.
