Project Work in Geoinformatics
This course aims to teach students the basics of the Python programming language and how to use python as a scripting tool in geospatial applications based on a project work. Both lectures and project presentations will be conducted in English. The curriculum of the course includes a python crash course, the basics of collaborative project work (project planning, use of git, etc.). The course content, description of the project work and announcements will be posted on the course moodle page. Students will be gathered in groups and these groups will be responsible for providing a presentation, a python-based application on github and a final report describing the project work. Students are advised to check the moodle webpage regularly.
Course Contents
- Introduction to Python and Git (and GitHub)
