Prerequistes:
Attendees must bring a working Python environment. The GRSG recommends Anaconda http://www.acgeospatial.co.uk/python-geospatial-workflows-prt1-anaconda/ Antendees with out a working environment will only be able to follow the code on the screen. Sadly, the instructor will not have time to setup individuals’ machines.

The GRSG reserves the right to cancel this course if it is significantly under-subscribed. In the event of cancellation for this reason, those who have already paid will be reimbursed.
