    Good information but recommended excluding or making sure the background music doesn’t overpower your own speaking voice. Had to rewind 100 times because music is too loud

    Amazing video i really appreciate it as a geomatic student who wants to dive deep into the gis world . Would love if there is a road map for beginners cause I find the starting point so confusing . I hope you can make a video about it . And thank you again🙌🙏

      I have a road map in my other videos if you want to check that out!

    I think something that's difficult with modern GIS software is cartography. It's definitely gotten better in ArcPro than what it used to be but making beautiful maps requires you use other software such as Illustrator. Open source options exist with programs such as Inkscape which are helpful but it would be nice to keep everything in one program

    • @MattForrest
      @MattForrest  Před 15 dny

      That’s true if you need very custom print maps then Illustrator is a good tool.

    Hi Matt, thanks for the explanation, I would like to ask you a question, how does the work of a developer differ from that of a GIS developer? What are the differences in terms of skills and actual coding?
    Also, I would like to know more about GIS by reading a book, is there any book you would recommend for that?
    Thanks a lot!

    • @MattForrest
      @MattForrest  Před rokem +1

      So the work varies a bit as there are sometime specialized backends for GIS developers. Traditionally this includes things like Geoserver or Geonode but more databases and data warehouses are adding geospatial capabilities along with map tiling services to render the data. As for books there is a great book coming out soon - Python for Geospatial Data Analysis: Theory, Tools, and Practice for Location Intelligence a.co/d/dAxPA2b

    May I ask if it's possible to learn GIS online ad a Certificate, as a graduate who doesnt have a Geography or Geology degree?

  • @AbdullahAlNoman-ii2fq

    Hello sir, Please give me a suggestion. Master of Planning or Master of Geospatial Information Systems which one is best for Future career ? I am planning for higher study in Australia.But now i feel disappoint for making decision. My background was Geography & Environment for both times B.S and M.S . Please give me your personal opinion.
    Thank you from Bangladesh.

    • @MattForrest
      @MattForrest  Před 5 měsíci

      If you have the geography background applying that with planning could be a great combination but before doing anything check the job demand and salaries in your area to gauge which has a more robust job market.

    The music is distracting. It prevents hearing and understanding. Thank you for your consideration.

      @@MattForrest The level of the music is too high for the voice. And the explanation is a bit fast to catch for beginners.
