IS&T RCS Tutorial - Introduction to QGIS (Demonstration)
QGIS is an open source GIS desktop application that can be downloaded for free and it provides a collection of tools for managing, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data. This application has a resemblance to commercial GIS products ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap. In this session I will introduce you to the user interface of QGIS and go through simple workflows to get you started on using the software, such as importing data, symbolizing data, adding labels, and more. Prerequisite: Introduction to GIS Theory Related Tutorials: If you plan to use the SCC for your GIS needs, I recommend taking "Introduction to BU’s Shared Computing Cluster".
