About this Book

I wrote Geoprocessing for Python to help you learn the basics of working with geospatial data, mostly using GDAL/OGR. There are other options, of course, but some of them build on top of GDAL, so if you understand the material in this book, you’ll probably be able to pick them up without too much trouble. This is not a book on GIS or remote sensing, although some background theory will be explained. Instead, this book will teach you how to write Python code for manipulating and creating spatial data, along with some simple analyses. You can use these building blocks to implement more-complicated analyses of your own devising.
