This is not your typical geospatial and python book! While seemingly geared towards beginners it has content that is interesting even for seasoned professionals. Some of the key aspects I enjoyed most about this book are:1. Full examples of common geospatial algorithms written in python2. The comprehensive layout of the FOSS geospatial ecosystem3. Useful real-world code for accessing and cleaning data4. The background history of GIS and remote sensingMy main critique would be that for a book about analysis, I found the example analytics to be a little basic. There are also a couple of examples of using ChatGPT to help you write code which I think would have been better as an aside rather than an example.All said though, it's a great book, and I will be referencing it in the future!

This book is well packaged with good illustrations for anyone interested in Geospatial analysis with python. I love the fact that it covered the geospatial analysis tools including remote sensing and GIS. I am sure this is well detailed for both beginners and professional. I found chapters 5 and 6 very interesting. I'm still using the book anyways but I highly recommend.

As a geologist learning Python I found this book very helpful since it uses practical examples that I can apply my the job. Moreover it was useful to refresh some of the subjects related to remote sensing and to understand what other tools for geospatial analysis are out there. The examples used in the book are easy to follow, well explain and realistic.

Overall I think this is a great resource as a jumping off point. If you are just getting in to geospatial processing with python I would happily point you to this. Specifically, the focus on the open-source stack in my opinion is the easiest way to get into this type of work, and lends itself well to scaling and parallelization down the line.The background and introductory chapters are surprisingly in-depth, and cover a lot of the history and philosophy of mapping, geospatial analysis, and remote sensing. I was delightedly surprised to see mention of the Great Nadar's pictures from hot air balloons included in this python book! (Anyone?, anyone?, oh well). In addition, I think it does a good job of showing how useful these type of analyses are.The examples throughout the book, though simple, are clear and set up the schema of how to think programmatically about thinking spatially. Not only are the walkthroughs clear, they also are good at deriving the logic behind some common spatial manipulations. However, because they are so explanatory, they do miss some opportunities to introduce shortcuts and useful packages that simplify workflows. I was quite surprised to see turtle graphics used to plot histograms, lol.The breadth of the topics covered is also impressive. From raster-based processes, to LiDAR processing, to GPS tracking in real-time, this book really does give you a taste of many different types of spatial analysis.That being said, I think the book does miss some good opportunities to encourage the use of more powerful libraries and tools. This introductory book glosses over how to ramp up processing of large datasets and how to account for dealing with big data. Specifically, I'd like to see things like GeoParquet mentioned for vector analysis, and libraries like xarray and dask for data-heavy raster processing. These days, geospatial analysis is big data analysis, and that should at least be recognized.In sum, I think this book provides a solid introduction to the field, and goes about it with the right mindset and baseline tool libraries. What can I say? I laughed, I cried, it was better than cats. I entreat you to check it out.

The media could not be loaded. This book is very essential for aspiring and current geospatial data analyst. I like the book for the following reasons:It is very informative and provided detail explanation of major available python packages for geospatial analysis.The use of python for raster data processing is also well explained.Working with LiDAR such as generation of DEM and classification using python.I am still enjoying reading the book.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
