<p>Horst and I are spending the week up in Johannesburg at the <a href="http://www.csir.co.za/SAC/">Satellite Applications Center</a> in Hartebeeshoek. We are doing yet another week long training course (I hope I’m not working the poor guy too hard <img src="http://linfiniti.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":-P"> ). This time we are doing:</p>
<p>- Two days QGIS (with a little GRASS)<br>
- One day PostGIS<br>
- Two days geospatial programming with Bash, Python and QGIS</p>
<p>Tomorrow we start with the PostGIS component. Horst and I have been compiling some course notes for the PostGIS module which we are <a href="http://linfiniti.com/downloads/pgtraining.pdf">making available</a> to the world as per usual. The pdf still has some rendering issues – we are aware of that. The document tries to walk the reader through the basics of using SQL and then some basic activities with PostGIS and working with geometries.</p>
<p>I hope some of you out there find it useful – let us know if you do! Also if you have any improvements to make, we’d love to hear from you. </p>
<p>Here is a quick pic or two from the course:</p>
