On behalf of the Pacific GIS and Remote Sensing Council (PGRSC), we welcome you to Week 20 of our series to promote free GIS and remote sensing resources (webinars, instructional videos, technical manuals, e-books, etc.) to increase capacity, awareness, and skill development for the Pacific Islands geospatial community. This week we will explore a free online course from Spatial Thoughts that teaches you how to use Python programming language to conduct geospatial tasks and analyses.
Week 20: Are you interested in using Python programming language to do geospatial analysis?
Spatial Thoughts provides free courses on various GIS and remote sensing topics in addition to paid options which allows for live mentoring and interaction with the instructor and certifications. This class covers Python from the very basics and is 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.

We hope that these materials are beneficial to you. Please let us know if you have a free GIS or remote sensing resource that you would like to promote as well so others can learn from them.
