Materials for learning spatial data science.

Course

Foundations of Spatial Data Science (CASA0013)

An evolution of the work I developed in the Department of Geography at King’s College London. Built entirely in Quarto, including the practical notebooks, and published to GitHub Pages. FSDS micro-site.

Resource

Code Camp

Helps students acquire the basics of coding in Python, up to the point of using functions, so they are less overwhelmed in the first weeks of term. Python runs in the browser. Code Camp micro-site.

Environment

Spatial Data Science computing environment

The information needed to build a Podman/Docker image for CASA0013 and other CASA modules: a modular image with Quarto and fonts ‘compiled in’ dynamically. SDS Environment micro-site.

Tooling

Flip

Scripts for maintaining open-source teaching resources in a flipped format. I’m pretty proud of this, though the start-up overhead is high. Repository.

Plugin

Q&A

A Quarto plugin that lets you write a question and answer code block side by side, passing only one through on render: the question to the notebook, the answer to the PDF. Documentation.

Course

Jaipur

A short introduction to spatial data science that I ran, with varying degrees of success, for planning students in Jaipur. Documentation.
