Learn how to build a Python web GIS application from scratch using Django and Leaflet.
Course Description
Welcome to the Creating Smart Maps with Python and Leaflet Windows Version course. We' ll be building a python GIS application from scratch using a variety of open source technologies. The purpose of this course is to learn to create geospatial analytics and convert it into a functional application.
In our case we will be working with residential water consumption data and we will be applying data processing techniques to extract, transform, and load the data into out spatial database. Once we have processed and cleaned the data, we will use it as a data source for building our GeoDjango Web Map Application.
We will be powering our application with a PostgreSQL and PostGIS database. In the front-end we will use Bootstrap, JavaScript, Leaflet and Ajax. On the server side we will be using Python and Django combined with scientific libraries like pandas, for our data transformation and conversion operations. The operating system the we will be working on is Windows 10 and Server 2016.
