Course overview

This is an introductory-level course. So if you are new to GIS, new to
FOSS GIS or are experienced in other GIS software and want to find out
how to do your work in Quantum GIS, this course is for you. 

Our aim is to make you comfortable with FOSS GIS tools for day to day
GIS work. Quantum GIS provides a compelling alternative to proprietary
GIS in many situations. We will start by installing QGIS, then take you
through the workflow of loading data from disparate sources, creating
data from scratch, data analysis and producing a professional map
suitable for delivery to a decision maker. We will also take a look at
some of the many plugins available for QGIS and touch on the use of
GRASS within QGIS. Lastly we will look at how QGIS can be integrated
into a multi-user enterprise environment by using it as a web services
and geospatial database client.
