The book gives an overview of Python's capabilities for spatial data analysis, as well as dozens of worked-through examples covering the entire range of standard GIS operations. A unique selling point of the book is its cohesive and joined-up coverage of both vector and raster geographic data models and consistent learning curve. This book is an excellent starting point for those new to working with geographic data with Python, making it ideal for students and practitioners beginning their journey with Python.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShowcases the integration of vector and raster datasets operations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides explanation of each line of code in the book to minimize surprises.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes example datasets and meaningful operations to illustrate the applied nature of geographic research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother unique feature is that this book is part of a wider community.\u003ci\u003e Geocomputation with Python\u003c\/i\u003e is a sister project of\u003ci\u003e Geocomputation with R\u003c\/i\u003e (Lovelace, Nowosad, and Muenchow 2019), a book on geographic data analysis, visualization, and modeling using the R programming language that has numerous contributors and an active community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book teaches how to import, process, examine, transform, compute, and export spatial vector and raster datasets with Python, the most widely used language for data science and many other domains. Reading the book and running the reproducible code chunks within will make you a proficient user of key packages in the ecosystem, including shapely, geopandas, and rasterio. The book also demonstrates how to make use of dozens of additional packages for a wide range of tasks, from interactive map making to terrain modeling. \u003ci\u003eGeocomputation with Python\u003c\/i\u003e provides a firm foundation for more advanced topics, including spatial statistics, machine learning involving spatial data, and spatial network analysis, and a gateway into the vibrant and supportive community developing geographic tools in Python and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56434676597110,"sku":"9781032460659","price":67.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_33137214.jpg?v=1760338017","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032460659-geocomputation-with-python","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
