Lovely Course although it has mainly the basics of the QGIS Interface, would have appreciated more!

Instructor Bio

Hi. It's great to meet you.
QGIStutorials are what I teach. Take my tutorials and learn to use QGIS!
My QGIS tutorials make use of usethe free QGIS, They come from the place of an experienced geographer and GIS consultant.
* I teach Professional people how to incorporate spatial into their projects.
* I teach GIS technicians how to work with the non GIS savvy.
I have worked with Geographical Information Systems for over two decades. I have worked as an academic at Monash University and a consultant in my own GIS consultancy.
GIS is a very broad topic and there are many ways to teach it. My approach is that of a geographer who uses GIS as a tool to solve geographical problems. Most GISs these days are similarly capable, but for me there is a problem in that too many GIS professionals do not understand the data they manage. Too often I see professionals discussing this-or-that modelling algorithm while failing to understand that the data theyre using for their modelling is not up to the task.
Currently based in Victoria, Australia, I have consulted on a diverse range of projects environmental, sustainability planning, and human. Clients have included the United Nations, the Australian Federal Government, Victorian State Government, Local Governments, Australian Universities, and Water Utilities.
My refereed publications are diverse
* Environmental sustainability modelling for Local Government planning.
* Housing affordability modelling for State Government planning.
* Buried asset condition modelling for the water industry
