I took a look at the materials: <br>
<ul>
<li>Make sure you get the training_manual_exercise_data.zip from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://qgis.org/downloads/data/">http://qgis.org/downloads/data/</a> </li>
<li>My first exercise (and I may be guilty of skipping ahead) was
here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/training_manual/introduction/preparation.html">https://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/training_manual/introduction/preparation.html</a>
and it asked for the roads.shp file to be added. <br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>the roads.shp file is located under
training_manual_exercise_data/exercise_data/epsg4326/roads.shp</li>
<li>The rivers and buildings are located there also. <br>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><br>
Good luck - I hope that helps some. <br>

<pre wrap="">I am a new user and trying to teach myself about QGIS using the 2.8 Training Manual and the training_manual_exercise_data downloaded from QGIS.
But even with the very first exercise the shp file it ask you to load have different names or some don't exist. There are no files available called Rivers or Buildings, and the ones there have _335 suffixes to the names. Okay, I can work round this, but the examples are then different.
The next stage is to load landuse.sqlite, which does not appear to exist in the exercise data at all.
So I am wondering if there is a different set of exercise data that is the one I should be using.
Would welcome some advice as a new user.
Thank you
Martin
Ps hope I am doing this right!
