PyStack: Extending QGIS with Python

The dynamic and object-oriented programming language Python has become the most important programming language for automatization and customization of geographic information systems (GIS). QGIS is one of the most popular open-source GIS. Python can be used in QGIS to access spatial data and geoprocessing tools, and to create your own plugins.

This course covers the basics of QGIS programming (using QGIS 3 and current libraries) and teaches how to access and automate existing tools and processes using Python. After teaching the basics, this course focuses on more complex operations such as interface creation with PyQt, as well as creating a plugin.

Over the four days, participants will learn the essential elements of QGIS programming, from the basics to plugin development.

The PyStack package is composed of three individual courses. You can find more information about each course on the following pages:

• Python - PyQGIS
• Python - PyQt
• QGIS: Developing Plugins
