Google's Python (free) class

​Google's Python Class
Welcome to Google's Python Class -- this is a free class for people with a little bit of programming experience who want to learn Python. The class includes written materials, lecture videos, and lots of code exercises to practice Python coding. These materials are used within Google to introduce Python to people who have just a little programming experience. The first exercises work on basic Python concepts like strings and lists, building up to the later exercises which are full programs dealing with text files, processes, and http connections. The class is geared for people who have a little bit of programming experience in some language, enough to know what a "variable" or "if statement" is. Beyond that, you do not need to be an expert programmer to use this material.

To get started, the Python sections are linked at the left -- Python Set Up to get Python installed on your machine, Python Introduction for an introduction to the language, and then Python Stringsstarts the coding material, leading to the first exercise. The end of each written section includes a link to the code exercise for that section's material. The lecture videos parallel the written materials, introducing Python, then strings, then first exercises, and so on. At Google, all this material makes up an intensive 2-day class, so the videos are organized as the day-1 and day-2 sections.

This material was created by Nick Parlante working in the engEDU group at Google. Special thanks for the help from my Google colleagues John Cox, Steve Glassman, Piotr Kaminksi, and Antoine Picard. And finally thanks to Google and my director Maggie Johnson for the enlightened generosity to put these materials out on the internet for free under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license -- share and enjoy!

Free course about Geographic Information Systems applied to Municipality Management

0 Comments

Read Now
 
gvSIG has launched a free course about Geographic Information Systems applied to Municipality Management through several video-tutorials. 

Currently, you can see the list of topics and the first module available already in [1]. 

In the next few weeks, they will publish the other modules, that we will include at this playlist: [2]

The first two modules are theoretical, about differences between GIS and CAD, and reference systems, very important to understand the rest of the course. From the third one, the modules will be practical, and the cartography will be available for each video. 

In addition, when the course is finishing it will be possible to get the official certificate given by the gvSIG Association, where it will be obligatory to send a complete exercise. 

All the information about registration, dates, certification, where to send doubts... is available at the frequent questions section of the first post [1].

MOOC "GIS for Users" (free of charge)

0 Comments

Read Now
 
There's a GIS MOOC cycle available free of charge.

This cycle is made up of three different Modules:
    Module 1: "Introduction to GIS"
    Module 2: "Layer Editing"
    Module 3: "Raster Analysis"

It will lead participants to how to use and exploit the potentiality of the open source software gvSIG while performing the most common GIS activities. This Course is both addressed to beginners and skilled GIS users who want to learn how to use this software.

The Course is open in continuous form and each module requires a participants engagement of around thirty hours.

Participants can thus plan individually the time to allocate to the course and complete all the scheduled activities without interfering with their daily work.

This Course is completely free of charge except for those participants asking for the corresponding credits of the gvSIG user certification program from the gvSIG Association, that is submitted to the payment of 40 Euro for each module or 100 Euro for the whole cycle. It will be earmarked for the sustainability of the project.

For further information about topics, goals…:
http://web.gvsig-training.com/index.php/es/quienes-somos-2/noticias-2/145-the-free-mooc-cycle-gvsig-for-users

For registration, you have to press "Enroll" at the corresponding Module, and then accept the "Site policy agreement". Finally you will have to register at the web page, or login if you were registered already.

New GIS Course NOW available

A new GIS course entitled Sharing Conservation Knowledge is now available on ConservationTraining. This is the last course of a six course series designed to teach you the fundamentals of GIS. This course focuses on how you ask questions of your spatial data and how to present your results.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Define, create and discuss queries in ArcGIS
  • Define, discuss, and implement spatial analyses in ArcGIS using the geoprocessing environment
  • Define map layouts
  • Describe the components of a map layout
  • Apply the three considerations when creating a map layout
  • Work with map templates

The demonstrations and simulations in this course were created using Esri's ArcGIS 9.3 software; however, on August 20, 2014 a LIVE GIS Seminar Event will be held to show the functionality taught in this course in Esri's ArcGIS 10.1 software. You MUST register for the LIVE GIS Seminar Event, and you can do so on the Sharing Conservation Knowledge course room page.
