Learning programming takes a lot of practice and months of continuous learning. This class is 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 packages (geopy)


Day 2: Working with Web APIs and Files

  • Using web APIs (openrouteservice)
  • Reading and writing files (file I/O, csv)
  • Introduction to modern data science libraries (numpy, pandas)


Day 3: Scaling Spatial Analysis 

  • 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 does NOT cover data visualization libraries. We cover data visualization and building apps in our intermediate course Mapping and Data Visualization with Python.


Learn more about the course content, student reviews, and project expectations on the Course Homepage.


Certification

Upon successful completion of all the live online sessions and completing the class project, participants will be issued an employer-verifiable certificate from Spatial Thoughts. Learn more.
