About the Book

Introduction to GIS Programming offers a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to the world of geospatial analysis using Python. Designed for learners of all levels, this book breaks down the complexities of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into clear, actionable steps, making it ideal for students, researchers, professionals, and self-learners interested in mastering spatial data programming. Geospatial data has become a key player across numerous fields, including environmental science, urban planning, public health, and business analytics. As the volume and sophistication of this data increase, the need for accessible tools to analyze, process, and visualize it has never been greater. Python, with its rich ecosystem of libraries, is the go-to programming language for working with geospatial data-yet navigating the wide array of libraries and concepts can be overwhelming. This book provides the structure and clarity needed to move from Python novice to confident geospatial programmer. What sets this book apart is its step-by-step, example-driven approach. Beginning with foundational Python programming skills, you'll build your understanding gradually, progressing to advanced techniques in geospatial analysis. The content is designed to be interactive, with real-world datasets and practical exercises that allow you to apply your skills immediately. You'll work through a variety of projects, from basic spatial data manipulation to building interactive dashboards and cloud-based geospatial applications. What You Will Learn: Setting Up Your Development Environment: Tools like Miniconda, VS Code, Git, and Google Colab for geospatial programming. Core Python Programming: Including data types, control flow, functions, classes, file handling, and libraries like NumPy and Pandas for data manipulation. Geospatial Programming: Hands-on instruction with libraries like GeoPandas, Rasterio, Leafmap, and Geemap for working with vector and raster data, performing geospatial analysis, and creating interactive visualizations. Advanced Topics: Cloud computing with Google Earth Engine, hyperspectral data analysis, high-performance geospatial analytics, and distributed computing with Apache Sedona.
