Contents:

This course teaches the basic skills of programming using the Python programming language. The course focuses on the basics of data types, variables, control structures (loops, IF queries, etc.), functions and the use of selected modules. The acquired knowledge are deepened with geographic examples from practice.

Methods:

Basics of programming
Scripting
Workflow automation

Assessment:

Course examination according to § 7, statute section on "study-law regulations"

Literature:

Downey, A., Wentworth, P., Elkner, J., & Meyers, C. (2016). How to think like a computer scientist: learning with python 3.

Prerequisites:

Fundamental knowledge of geoinformation systems and methods of geoinformatics

Remarks:

We also strongly recommend registering for the course “Remote Sensing: Automation of Remote Sensing Analyzes”. In this course, the Python basics are deepened by dedicated examples and in your own practical projects (from human and physical geography).
