- Unlock the power of open-source geospatial technology and start building real-world GIS solutions with Python. This beginner-friendly workbook takes you from GIS basics to advanced cloud-based analysis using only free, open-source tools. Designed for students, researchers, GIS analysts, and developers, this practical guide transforms technical concepts into step-by-step activities and projects. Today’s geospatial data powers decision-making in urban development, environmental monitoring, disaster response, and business intelligence. Python has become the most accessible and flexible language for processing spatial data—but navigating its libraries like GeoPandas, Rasterio, PyQGIS, and Earth Engine can be challenging without guidance. This workbook breaks down the workflow into simple, hands-on labs and worksheets, helping you learn by doing, not just reading. From installing your first GIS environment to deploying cloud-based geoprocessing tasks, every chapter is built around practical exercises, coding activities, and real-world datasets. You’ll automate geospatial tasks, build interactive web maps, and deploy your scripts on the cloud—equipping you with industry-relevant GIS programming skills. What You Will Learn:Setting up a complete open-source GIS development environment using Python, QGIS, and Jupyter.Working with spatial data formats like Shapefile, GeoJSON, and GeoTIFF using GeoPandas and Rasterio.Performing spatial analysis, joins, and projections with PyQGIS and GeoPandas.Building interactive web maps with Leaflet.js, Flask, and GitHub Pages.Running cloud-based analysis with Google Earth Engine and deploying serverless GIS functions on AWS Lambda.Automating workflows with batch scripts, cron jobs, and GitHub Actions for continuous integration.Key Features:Practical worksheets and activity sheets, not just theory.Open-source tools only—no expensive licenses required.Hands-on coding with clear, annotated examples.Capstone project studio to build and present your own GIS application.Cloud, web, and machine learning topics for modern GIS workflows.Whether you're just starting your GIS journey or looking to expand your programming toolkit, this workbook gives you the structure, tools, and confidence to build your own open-source spatial solutions.
