learn to manage big data with freely available software.
Everyone is talking about big data and GIS, but is anyone really doing it? In this course you’ll work with gigabytes of data to solve many different spatial and data related questions. All the software is free, but don't let that fool you: we'll be using the most effective open source products like Postgres and QGIS, and we'll even perform parallel processing with Manifold Viewer - I hope you have a multi-core computer to see how fast this stuff is!
At the end of the course, you’ll understand:
the principles behind big data geo-analytics and the role of statistics, databases, parallel processing, and hardware and software in support of big data geo-analytics.
how to use open source software and Manifold GIS to perform parallel processing and manage spatial data.
how to conduct a big data geo-analytics project by interrogating multi-gigabyte real world databases.
And best of all, the software we use in this class is FREE and easy to set up - you'll do it all yourself!
The course is taught by Dr. Arthur Lembo who is a Professor at Salisbury University and has worked in the GIS field for over 30 years.
At the end of this course you understand: the principles behind big data geo-analytics. the role of statistics, databases, and hardware and software in support of big data geo-analytics. how to use Open Source software and Manifold GIS to manage spatial data. how to conduct a big data geo-analytics project by interrogating real world databases.
You'll work hands-on with various software products to manage big data: these include Postgres, QGIS, and Manifold Viewer. Yes, all free!!

Great course !
Very bad teaching technic
very straigtforward and very useful for gis analysts and similar users from normal users up to professionals
The instructor is a true educator. He provides ample examples with real data and employs real experience.
Some archives didn't opened.
The course was a good match. It introduced me to the subject and I can now advance my skills confidently
Very nice introduction to GIS using Manifold!
Excellent! Very nice explanation with good examples.

Downloading the course materials is a nightmare. The macros on the Portable Control GIS panel are not working. The Pgadmin 3 and QGIS macro buttons don't open anything. The latest version of PG admin is 4 and if 4 is running on the server, I can't see how a PG admin 3 macro button can connect with 4. So sad, I really wanted to do this course and this guy is a good teacher but alas, I can't get started!
