The popularity of open source geographic information systems and QGIS in particular has been growing rapidly over the last few years.Learning QGIS Third Edition is a practical, hands-on guide updated for QGIS 2.14 that provides you with clear, step-by-step exercises to help you apply your GIS knowledge to QGIS. Through clear, practical exercises, this book will introduce you to working with QGIS quickly and painlessly.This book takes you from installing and configuring QGIS to handling spatial data to creating great maps. You will learn how to load and visualize existing spatial data and create data from scratch. You will get to know important plugins, perform common geoprocessing and spatial analysis tasks and automate them with Processing.We will cover how to achieve great cartographic output and print maps. Finally, you will learn how to extend QGIS using Python and even create your own plugin.What you will learnInstall QGIS and get familiar with the user interfaceLoad vector and raster data from files, databases, and web servicesCreate, visualize, and edit spatial dataPerform geoprocessing tasks and automate themCreate advanced cartographic outputsDesign great print mapsExpand QGIS using PythonAbout the AuthorAnita Graser studied geomatics at the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt, Austria, from where she graduated with a master's degree in 2010. During her studies, she gained hands-on experience in the fields of geo-marketing and transportation research. Since 2007, she has been working as a geographic information systems (GIS) expert with the dynamic transportation systems group at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), where she focuses on analyzing and visualizing spatio-temporal data. Anita serves on the OSGeo board of directors and the QGIS project steering committee. She has been working with GIS since 2005, provides QGIS training courses, and writes a popular blog on open source GIS at anitagraser.com.Table of ContentsGetting Started with QGISViewing Spatial DataData Creation and EditingSpatial AnalysisCreating Great MapsExtending QGIS with Python
