An introduction to spatial data and processing spatial information using Python.
This tutorial is designed to be used by people who are already comfortable with databases, programming, and/or data science. It was developed as a tutorial for the US Research Software Engineer's Conference 2023 and assumes a similar skill level. Concepts related to data types, data querying, and programming in general are not explained. But it assumes no familiary with spatial information.
This notebook is designed to be used self-contained, or instructor-led. If working through this without an instructor, make sure to read all the text - the comments are critical to explaining and understanding not just the code, but spatial data in general.
This tutorial runs in the cloud on MyBinder.org - no setup is required on your computer to get started. MyBinder will usually load the notebook quickly - in a minute or two, but can take some time (as long as an hour) if it has been a long time since the notebook was last run.
