About the Author

Chris Garrard has worked as a developer for the Remote Sensing/Geographic Information Systems Laboratory in the Quinney College of Natural Resources at Utah State University for almost 15 years. She has been teaching a Python-for-GIS course for about half of that time, and has also taught workshops on campus and at conferences. She loves showing people that there are open source alternatives for processing spatial data, but her favorite thing about teaching is that “Aha!” moment when someone realizes just how much the ability to code will help them with their work.
