The html pages are built using R Studio as a R Markdown Website.

The content has the following course pages

  • Spatial Data Visualization and Analytics
  • Advanced QGIS
  • Automating GIS Workflows with QGIS
  • Python Foundation for Spatial Analysis
  • Mapping and Data Visualization with Python
  • Customizing QGIS with Python
  • Mastering GDAL Tools
  • End-to-End Google Earth Engine
  • Google Earth Engine for Water Resources Management

Updating the content

Most courses are written using pure MarkDown in the corresponding .Rmd file. You can update the content directly. A few courses embed other .md files generated from Jupyter Notebooks - which need to be generated before building the site.

Python Foundation for Spatial Analysis

  1. Update the .ipynb files in the code/python_foundation/ directory.
  2. Run python-foundation-package.sh to generate .md files for each notebook

Mapping and Data Visualization with Python

  1. Update the .ipynb and .py files in the code/python_dataviz/ directory.
  2. Run python-dataviz-package.sh to generate .md files for each notebook.
  3. The script will also copy updated code to spatialthoughts/python-dataviz-web. Commit and push changes there.

End-to-End Google Earth Engine

The code for the course comes from a Google Earth Engine repository users/ujavalgandhi/End-to-End-GEE.

  1. Clone the users/ujavalgandhi/End-to-End-GEE repository to ~/projects directory.
  2. Update the .ipynb files in the code/end_to_end_gee/ directory.
  3. Run end-to-end-gee-package.sh to generate .md files from the updated code and notebooks.

Google Earth Engine for Water Resources Management

The code for the course comes from a Google Earth Engine repository users/ujavalgandhi/GEE-Water-Resources-Management.

  1. Clone the users/ujavalgandhi/GEE-Water-Resources-Management repository to ~/projects directory.
  2. Update the .ipynb files in the code/gee_water_resources_management/ directory.
  3. Run gee-water-resources-management-package.sh to generate .md files from the updated code and notebooks.

Formatting Guide

We prefer the following style while writing the tutorials.
