It is widely used by GIS professionals all over the world. It is the leading alternative to the proprietary GIS software. Although QGIS is described as intuitive, it is also by default complex. Knowing which tools to use and how to apply them is essential to producing valuable deliverables on time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStarting with a refresher on the QGIS basics, this book will take you all the way through to creating your first custom QGIS plugin. From the refresher, we will recap how to create, populate, and manage a spatial database. You'll also walk through styling GIS data, from creating custom symbols and color ramps to using blending modes. In the next section, you will discover how to prepare vector, heat maps, and create live layer effects, labeling, and raster data for processing. You'll also discover advanced data creation and editing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe last third of the book covers the more technical aspects of QGIS such as using LAStools and GRASS GIS's integration with the Processing Toolbox, how to automate workflows with batch processing, and how to create graphical models. Finally, you will see how to create and run Python data processing scripts and write your own QGIS plugin with pyqgis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the end of the book, you will understand how to work with all the aspects of QGIS, and will be ready to use it for any type of GIS work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you will learn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreate and manage a spatial database\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet to know advanced techniques to style GIS data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrepare both vector and raster data for processing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdd heat maps, live layer effects, and labels to your maps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaster LAStools and GRASS integration with the Processing Toolbox\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEdit and repair topological data errors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAutomate workflows with batch processing and the QGIS Graphical Modeler\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrate Python scripting into your data processing workflows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop your own QGIS plugin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this book is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you are a GIS professional, a consultant, a student, or perhaps a fast learner who wants to go beyond the basics of QGIS, then this book is for you.
