Welcome to the world of PyQGIS, the blending of QGIS and Python to extend and enhance your open source GIS toolbox. With PyQGIS you can write scripts and plugins to implement new features and perform automated tasks. This book will guide you in getting started with PyQGIS. After a brief introduction to Python, you'll learn how to understand the QGIS Application Programmer Interface (API), write scripts, and build a plugin. This book is designed to allow you to work through the examples as you go along. At the end of each chapter you will find a set of exercises you can do to enhance your learning experience.

A good beginners/intermediate book for programming with QGIS

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

Personally I found the book a bit low level but then I am a very experience programmer and most of the target audience will be GIS folk who do programming on the side. I judge it well suited for this audience. It covers the concepts well and includes a brief introduction to Python. I would have like to see a reference section to the API but then I'm old fashioned -- these days it is arguably better to keep your API docs on line since they change. That is fine so long at that documentation is good and kept up to date

A Great Walkthrough

Excellent book for learning the how python extends QGIS. This book was easy to follow and having very basic python knowledge helps but is not necessary. Also a great walkthrough for writing plugins and standalone apps.

From Python basics to writing standalone applications using the QGIS API

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2014

On 200 pages, Gary Sherman takes the reader from Python basics to creating standalone applications using the QGIS Python API. The book manages to strike a great balance between basics for those who are new to programming for QGIS and more advanced content and insider information for more advanced readers. Gary also took care to make his instructions usable on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Here's an overview of what the book covers:

1. Introduction ... covers requirements, where to find sample data and code, plus some house keeping
2. Python Basics ... talks about language basics, how to install packages, and where to learn more
3. Setting Up Your Development Tools ... getting Python, IDE and Qt/PyQt ready
4. The QGIS/Python Ecosystem ... insights into the world of QGIS Python plugins
5. Navigating the QGIS API ... how to work with the existing documentation, and an introduction to signals and slots
6. Using the Console ... loading and manipulating data from the Python console
7. Running Scripts ... more about scripting
8. Tips and Techniques ... dealing with raster and vector files and databases, creating custom tools, display messages
9. Extending the API ... creating custom functionality
10. Writing Plugins ... combine GUI and PyQGIS code in your own plugin
11. Creating a Development Workflow ... developing and debugging
12. Writing a Standalone Application ... creating new applications with maps ands tools
13. Answers to Exercises
14. Appendix A: Installing Software
15. Appendix B: Code Listings
16. Appendix C: Porting Scripts to 2.0
