• GEOG 4600: Geospat Program/Online Methods

  3.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  Increasingly, geospatial professionals count both programming and web methods among their most useful skill sets, and employers often list them as highly desirable. This course focuses on two essential components of that geographic online experience: geospatial programming and online methods. This class is conducted in the Python programming language, but no previous experience is required. The first half of the course is devoted to helping students learn Python, while the second half is focused on applications of Python in the geospatial domain, including ESRI's ArcPy, Open Source Modules, and custom web mapping solutions. With these tools, students will be able to solve geospatial problems, extend functionality, and streamline/automate GIS workflows through the creation and modification of Python scripts.
