This hands-on workshop covers Python from the very basics. Suitable for GIS practitioners with no programming background or python knowledge. The course will introduce participants to basic programming concepts, libraries for working with spatial data, geospatial APIs and techniques for building spatial data processing pipelines. 


Learning programming takes a lot of practice and months of continuous learning. This class intended to jump-start your journey by building a foundation and giving you the resources to become a proficient programmer. Each class is limited to a small batch to ensure individual attention, support, and mentoring are given to each participant.


Day 1: Getting familiar with Python

  • Setting up the environment using Anaconda and Jupyter notebooks
  • Programming basics - variables, data structures, functions, flow control
  • Installing and using libraries (geopy)
  • Using web APIs (openrouteservice)


Day 2: Scaling Spatial Analysis 

  • Reading and writing files (file I/O, csv)
  • Introduction to modern data science libraries (numpy, pandas)
  • Introduction to spatial analysis (geopandas)
  • Using raster data (rasterio)
  • Building scripts and automating workflows


Class Project:

  • Each participant will be assigned a project to complete within 2 weeks of the class. 1-1 mentoring and email support will be available during the project. (Estimated time for project: 4-8 hours)
  • Participants must complete the project to receive a completion certificate.


This class with NOT cover data visualization libraries. We will be using QGIS for visualizing the data.
