Feeling excited to reveal our new book project "Introduction to Python for Geographic Data Analysis" together with @vuoggis & @dave_whipp which will introduce the basics of Python programming & geographic data analysis for all geo-minded people.🤓🌍Published in 2021 by CRC Press

What is even cooler is that all the materials will also be available for FREE to anyone at pythongis.org! We also develop all the materials openly in GitHub and hope for engagement with wider community ❤️ #openeducation #opensoftware #openscience #opendata

The book has four parts: 1) Python essentials, 2) Introduction to GIS with Python, 3) Geographic data analysis applications, and 4) Appendices. We combine our online courses: geo-python.github.io & autogis.github.io into a single ultimate learning-package for beginners.

Part 1: New to Python? In this part will teach you the fundamental concepts of #programming using #Python. No previous experience required! Our materials draw inspiration from various geographical phenomena, hence it’s a perfect starting point if you’re a “geo-minded” person!

In Part 2 we will provide essential skills and building blocks for processing, analyzing and visualizing geographic data using modern open source Python packages such as GeoPandas #shapely #rasterio to mention a few.

Part 3 will introduce several real-world examples of how to apply geographic data analysis in Python. It assumes that you understand the key concepts presented in previous parts.

Part 4 will include useful information on how to work efficiently with Python: how to use version control with git, how to write and use Python script files and manage your projects, and tips for testing and debugging your code.

Stay tuned for updated materials about #Python for Geographic Data Analysis! Very happy to be part of this #pythonGISbook project with Henrikki Tenkanen 🌐 htenkanen.bsky.social and @dave_whipp. All materials are developed openly online, and the book will come out in 2021.

Time to wrap up those pre-covid projects! Happy to advance the #opensource pythongis book with @dave_whipp & Henrikki Tenkanen 🌐 htenkanen.bsky.social while learning new tricks😊.

My first attempt to map the #GeoPython #PythonGIS ecosystem (currently n=69) for our pythongis project (vector+raster) 🤓 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝: What packages do I miss? I'm sure there are plenty of interesting libraries escaping my radar 🧐 GeoPandas The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) Xarray

#2 attempt to map the #GeoPython #PythonGIS ecosystem for our pythongis project. Currently 123 libraries covering a broader spectrum of pkgs. Thanks a lot for everyone who answered the call and helped! 🙏😎 Will produce separate for vector+raster & interactive ones to play with.
