Course objectives

On this course, students will be introduced to an array of powerful open-source geocomputation tools (GDAL & python) under Linux environment. Students who have never been exposed to programming under Linux are expected to reach a stage where they feel confident to understand and modify advanced open source data processing routines. Our aim is to equip attendees with powerful tools and hone their ability for independent study afterwards. The acquired skills will be beneficial, not only for GIS related applications, but also for general data processing and applied statistical computing in a number of fields. We aim to provide a sound foundation for career development as a geographic data scientist.

All the class will be recorded. The video link will be posted in the syllabus below
