QGIS Desktop Basics
QGIS is a user-friendly open-source geographic information system (GIS). It runs on Linux, Mac OS and Windows and supports a wide range of vector, raster and database formats and functions. As a full-featured GIS, it can be used to create, visualize, analyze or edit spatial data. It is a powerful tool that can also be used to draw your own maps, among other things. This introduction will cover the basics of using it, handling vector and raster data, and visualizing it as a static map or dynamic WebMap.
