Practical GIS: Learn novice to advanced topics such as QGIS, Spatial data analysis, and more
Gabor Farkas
The most commonly used GIS tools automate tasks that were historically done manually―compiling new maps by overlaying one on top of the other or physically cutting maps into pieces representing specific study areas, changing their projection, and getting meaningful results from the various layers by applying mathematical functions and operations. This book is an easy-to-follow guide to use the most matured open source GIS tools for these tasks. We'll start by setting up the environment for the tools we use in the book. Then you will learn how to work with QGIS in order to generate useful spatial data. You will get to know the basics of queries, data management, and geoprocessing. After that, you will start to practice your knowledge on real-world examples. We will solve various types of geospatial analyses with various methods. We will start with basic GIS problems by imitating the work of an enthusiastic real estate agent, and continue with more advanced, but typical tasks by solving a decision problem. Finally, you will find out how to publish your data (and results) on the web. We will publish our data with QGIS Server and GeoServer, and create a basic web map with the API of the lightweight Leaflet web mapping library.

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy books and that’s kind of the same thing.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
You must gain control over your money or the lack of it will forever control you.
Every time you borrow money, you're robbing your future self.
A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
Too many people spend money they earned..to buy things they don't want..to impress people that they don't like.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
