Part 1:The History and the Present of the Industry

This part starts by demonstrating common geospatial analysis processes using illustrations, basic formulas, simple code, and Python. Building on that, you’ll learn how to play with geospatial data – acquiring data and preparing it for various analyses. After that, you’ll gain an understanding of the various software packages and libraries used in the geospatial technology ecosystem. At the end of this part, you’ll learn how to evaluate any geospatial tool to see whether it’s what you need for your project.

This part contains the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, Learning about Geospatial Analysis with Python
• Chapter 2, Learning about Geospatial Data
• Chapter 3, The Geospatial Technology Landscape
