Course Overview
Taking your QGIS skills to the next level
Take your QGIS skills to the next level by learning how to write python scripts to automate QGIS. This course was created using QGIS 3.8 and the material should be valid for many years to come as there are not expected to be major changes to the PyQGIS package after the recent change to QGIS 3.0. All you need for this course is a basic understanding of QGIS and Python. We will be using the editor included with QGIS to write scripts.
Python scripts are much simpler than a full-blown QGIS plugín and the material in this course is focused on the GIS professional who is looking to use python scripts to improve their productivity, rather than the professional programmer. In my work, I have found this knowledge to be indispensable and I can't imagine working in GIS without having some level of scripting ability. I believe that by the end of this course you will feel the same way.

First of all, the content of the course was very informative. I had already had some experience with Pygis, but that was more trial and error than actual use. Now I have learned a more structured approach. The introduction to the course was a bit long-winded, but when it came to the content that was most important to me, namely Creating and Modifying Vector Data, the individual points were covered too quickly. In addition, the PPT presentations are not available for download. These documents would have been great for reviewing the content or looking things up later. I deducted half a star because of the last two points.

I am kind of advanced user of QGIS and I know the need of using Python on it. Instructor's explanation is pretty aligned with it.
