- Course objectives
- Aim of the course is to make students familiar with basic programming procedures and their use in available GIS software. Initial part of the course is focused on programming language Python and its use in the ArcGIS environment. Beside basic principles of the Python, API, data model and core functionality of the ArcGIS will be reviewed. The end of the course will be focused on pyqgis library in QuantumGIS environment.
- Learning outcomes
- - ability to algorithmize a simple geoprocessing task - ability to identify task demanded classes and calls from an OO API documentation - to design and compile a geoprocessing Python script in ArcGIS - to design and compile a geoprocessing Python script in QGIS
