New Course: Geospatial data science with Python: GeoPandas

This course is brand new and intended to be one of a series of courses on Geospatial Data Science with Python. This course focuses on vector analysis with the excellent GeoPandas library which extends the excellent Pandas library with geospatial functionality similar to the way that PostGIS extends PostgreSQL with geospatial functionality. In fact PostGIS and GeoPandas integrate very well together and you can read data from a PostGIS database and then visualize it and/or work with it in Python and if you are familiar with PostGIS you will find many of the same tools available and a few more.

Excellent outline Mike. I’ve been working with GeoDS in R for a while and have been looking for a good intro to become more familiar with geospatial in Python. Keep em coming!!
