Introduction to Python for GIS

Programming with computers is one of the most rewarding and frustrating of human endeavors.

I would argue, however, that the most rewarding part of mastering programming is to make yourself into a computer power user who can execute both simple and complex applications and analyses, written in reusable code, with ease.

The frustrations will come and go, and it is a good thing: you, like me and millions before you, will learn from each mistake. You will grow and learn with each exercise in this book, and by asking the right questions and paying close attention you can avoid some of these issues.
