Welcome to GEOG 485: GIS Programming and Software Development!
GEOG 485 is an introductory programming course developed by experts in the Python coding language. The course focuses on programming as used to automate GIS software to solve problems.
The developers of GEOG 485 designed this course to include lots of practice for students and to provide a communicative learning community so that students could help each other.
The following pages are from a lesson, but the lesson in total is not replicated here. The lesson contains clear objectives, plenty of practice, guidance, and a chance to discuss issues and questions with the instructor and with other students. There is an aligned assessment in the form of a quiz. Notice the use of syntax highlighter, which allows students to see code represented authentically and accurately on the course pages. Also, notice that students are offered a chance for further, extra practice at the end of the lesson.
