You will be able to practice the content learned in a practical way by following all the steps in the complete exercises and the hands-on projects

You will start with the basics and progressively carry out more complex steps until you reach an advanced level and absolute mastery at the end of the course

Requirements

Having basic knowledge of databases or SQL can help, but the course starts from scratch

Installing PostgreSQL and PostGIS to follow the practical sessions (if you don't know how, don't worry, it's very easy, free, and I'll explain it to you in the course!)

A decent computer and of course, desire to learn!

Description

Become a PostGIS professional and learn one of the most in-demand skills nowadays!This comprehensive course is designed for GIS professionals, database administrators, PostgreSQL users, developers, geographers, data analysts, students… can learn PostGIS from scratch to use it in a practical and professional way. Never mind if you have no experience in the topic, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with total mastery of the subject.After several years working in the field of geospatial analysis, we have realized that nowadays mastering PostGIS is very necessary for conducting advanced geospatial data analysis and management. Knowing how to use this tool can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits, especially in the world of GIS.The big problem has always been the complexity to perfectly understand PostGIS requires, since its absolute mastery is not easy. In this course we try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, so that you will be able to carry out and understand your own projects in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step, detailed and hands-on examples of every concept.With almost 8 exclusive hours of video, this comprehensive course leaves no stone unturned! It includes both practical exercises and theoretical examples to master PostGIS. The course will teach you how to create, manage, and analyze spatial databases using PostGIS in a practical way, from scratch, and step by step.We will start with the installation and setup of the needed work environment on your computer, regardless of your operating system and computer.Then, we'll cover a wide variety of topics, including:Introduction to Spatial Databases and course dynamicsInstallation and general familiarization with the Post GIS work environment, architecture, and componentsPostGIS fundamentals: Spatial data types, spatial queries, and geometric functionsSpatial Analysis Techniques: Spatial join, overlay, buffer, and proximityAdvanced Spatial Functions: 3D geometry, raster data, and network analysisSpatial Indexing and Optimization: Spatial indexing and query optimization strategiesIntegration and Interoperability: Integrating PostGIS with GIS software, and ensuring interoperability with other spatial data formatsMastery and application of absolutely ALL the functionalities of PostGISQuizzes, Practical exercises, complete projects and much more!In other words, what we want is to contribute our grain of sand and teach you all those things that we would have liked to know in our beginnings and that nobody explained to us. In this way, you can learn to build and manage a wide variety of projects and make versatile and complete use of Post GIS. And if that were not enough, you will get lifetime access to any class and we will be at your disposal to answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.Learning PostGIS has never been easier.
