analyzing routes and networks, and learn how to take QGIS beyond
the out-of-the-box features with plug-ins, customization, and
add-on tools. This Learning Path combines some of the best that
Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package. It includes
content from the following Packt products: ? Learning QGIS, Third
Edition by Anita Graser ? QGIS Blueprints by Ben Mearns ? QGIS 2
Cookbook by Alex Mandel, Victor Olaya Ferrero, Anita Graser,
Alexander Bruy Style and approach This Learning Path will get you
up and running with QGIS. We start off with an introduction to QGIS
and create maps and plugins. Then, we will guide you through
Blueprints for geographic web applications, each of which will
teach you a different feature by boiling down a complex workflow
into steps you can follow. Finally, you'll turn your attention to
becoming a QGIS power user and master data management,
visualization, and spatial analysis techniques of QGIS.
