Jacob C. Ting said A fun starting point to learning about Geospatial Analysis.. I'd like to start this review by addressing a few quick questions before I add my own thoughts.First, who would be interested in this book?Really, anyone who has ever had an interest in simply learning what Geospatial Analysis is will benefit from this book, the first chapters go through an excellent introduction into what the field of Geospatial Analysis even is and the topics that cover its range, such as Geographic. This book is sooooo useful for anybody who works with GIS Amazon Customer This book is sooooo useful for anybody who works with GIS! I used ideas from this book and was able to do projects with PURE Python, and not a single line of ArcPy !!!!. moria"Five Stars" according to moria2. great book for those who know GIS and are interested in Python. said Five Stars. great book for those who know GIS and are interested in Python
It is an approach to use statistical analysis and other informational engineering to data which has a geographical or geospatial aspect. If you know Python and would like to use it for Geospatial Analysis this book is exactly what you've been looking for. This book focuses on pure Python whenever possible to minimize compiling platform-dependent binaries, so that you don't become bogged down in just getting ready to do analysis."Learning Geospatial Analysis with Python" will round out your technical library with handy recipes and a good understanding of a field that supplements many a modern day human endeavors.What you will learn from this bookAutomate Geospatial analysis workflows using PythonCode the simplest possible GIS in 60 lines of PythonMold thematic maps with Python toolsGet a hold of the various forms the geospatial data comes inProduce elevation contours using Python toolsCreate flood inundation modelsLearn Real-Time Data tracking and apply it in storm chasingApproachThis is a tutorial-style book tha
