GIS center winter skill-set course: GIS and Hadoop Jan. 3-6

Here is a great 4-day course for students who want a quick, hands-on introduction to GIS and Big Data.

GEOG788C GIS & Hadoop For Big Data (1 cr.) will be offered January 3-6, 2017. This is a great opportunity for graduate students (and undergraduates by permission of instructor).

The skill-set course sequence at the UMD Center for Geospatial

Information Science is designed to provide a comprehensive

overview of current state-of-the-art in geospatial information

science (GIS) and computational social science (CSS), through

intensive training over a short time frame. The skill-set courses

provide advanced training in key aspects of GIS and CSS,

alongside hands-on lab-based exercises across a diversity of

devices, software libraries, exercises, and data environments that

emphasize “learning by doing”.
