SUMMARY:Introduction to Geospatial Python Programming with QGIS (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn how to enhance your open source mapping 
 using coding? This free\, two-hour workshop from the Map and Data Library 
 will give you a hands-on introduction to geospatial Python programming 
 using QGIS. Designed for learners who have some basic knowledge of GIS and 
 Python\, we’ll explore how Python can be used to automate workflows\, 
 perform spatial analysis\, and interact with desktop GIS environments using 
 QGIS and its Python API.\n\nTogether\, we’ll work through interactive 
 coding exercises and explore real-world use cases\, including spatial data 
 processing\, map automation\, and error handling. We’ll focus on using 
 PyQGIS\, the Python API for QGIS\, to build custom scripts and explore how 
 Python can extend QGIS's functionality. We'll also briefly explore how 
 Python can be used to develop your own custom QGIS plugins and standalone 
 scripts.\n\nFormat:\n     Instructor-led\, in-person workshop\n     
 Discussion and live demonstrations\n     Hands-on coding in QGIS\n     Time 
 for questions and discussion\n\nLearning Outcomes:\nBy the end of the 
 workshop\, you will be able to:\n     Understand the role Python can play 
 in working with maps.\n     Access and manipulate spatial layers using 
 PyQGIS.\n     Automate common GIS tasks like buffering and clipping.\n     
 Load and style multiple map layers programmatically.\n     Explore how 
 Python can be used to extend QGIS through plugins and standalone 
 tools.\n\n\n	Prerequisites:\n	Although this is a beginner-friendly 
 workshop\, we recommend having taken our introductory QGIS and Python 
 workshops. You can register for a Map and Data Library workshop (or view 
 recordings of previous sessions) here:  
 https://mdl.library.utoronto.ca/support/workshops-and-training 
 \n	Audience:\n	This workshop is designed for U of T students and 
 researchers.\n	Instructor:\n	Cole White\, GIS Analyst\n\n\nThis event will 
 be held in Robarts Library\, room 4033 on the 4th floor. For directions\,

 & Data Library workshops\, such as this one\, are a welcoming and inclusive 
 environment for learning. To learn more\, check out our Code of 
 Conduct.\n\nMDL is committed to making our workshops accessible to 
 everyone. If you'd like to discuss how we can best meet any accessibility 
 needs you may have and help you get the most out of this workshop\, please
