SUMMARY:Intro to Geospatial Python Programming with QGIS (Virtual)
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\nBy the end of this workshop\, you'll 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\nIMPORTANT NOTE: 
 This is a virtual event. If you want to follow along with the technical 
 segment\, you will need to have QGIS 3 installed on your computer. You can 
 download it for free from qgis.org.\n\nMap & 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 contact Cole White (cole.white@utoronto.ca).
