Summary
For now, we have covered a few introductory topics and completed several tasks. First of all, you learned how to install QGIS, configure its interface, and extend functionalities with plugins. Then we discussed common data sources you can use to get data into QGIS. You are now capable of exploring and managing data in different projections. Last but not least, you imported all your data into a portable, lightweight SpatiaLite database file.
In the next chapter, we will move forward and reveal QGIS's potential for data visualization.
