What do Participants Say:

"On the verge of giving up my hope to learn python for QGIS, the Spatial Thoughts course on Customizing QGIS with Python ignited my long lost interest. The lecture delivered along with a very interactive session makes one understand the basic concept customization using python for QGIS." - Jigme Tenzin, World Food Program, Bhutan

"I’m blown away at what PyGIS can do . But thrilled that was taught in such lucid and interactive manner . Highly recommend this course !" - Binu Alexander, CTO SevenX Ltd. India

"When I signed up for this course, I had knowledge of QGIS and some Python independently, but after participating, I can finally put the two together to further develop my academic research. As the sessions began I worried that my Python skills might not be strong enough to keep up. However, the step-by-step course material with detailed descriptions along with Ujaval’s ease in teaching made it possible for me to understand the concepts, follow along, and learn more than I expected. I am looking forward to taking more courses with Spatial Thoughts!" - Nikki Hall, University of Tokyo, Japan
