Training QGIS: Analysis and processing

QGIS is an Open Source desktop GIS application which has quickly become a reference over the last few years. It offers users the possibility of viewing a large number of data formats and handling them in the context of various processing and analysis tasks.

This training will allow you to understand how QGIS works and get a glimpse of the complex processes involved in GRASS.

"On the shores of Lake Geneva" — Teaching machines to understand where you mean
We built etter, an open-source Python library that turns natural language location descriptions into spatial filters. You give it "north of Lausanne" or "on the shores of Lake Geneva" — it gives you a GeoJSON geometry your app can use directly. It's LLM-agnostic, multilingual, and handles the kind of spatial nuance that breaks naive approaches. If you build location-aware products, you'll want to read this.
