Re: [Qgis-user] Learning resources/books for QGIS
Thank you to Kirk and Alexandre for the suggestions. Book wise: I had been looking at "QGIS Map Design" and I think Kurk Menke's "QGIS 3" I'll have to make another pass at the YouTube offerings. I don't use YouTube often so it will be "New adventures in learning." :-) Thanks, Rod -- On 3/12/21 9:39 AM, Roderick Anderson wrote: Good day.

Hi Rod: I would suggest a video to get a feel for how things work. Things are a lot easier without command level inputs. Try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCnNWyl9qSE There are lots of resources on youtube. Kirk Schmidt On 3/12/2021 1:39 PM, Roderick Anderson wrote: Good day.

Good day. I looking for some suggestions of books on learning QGIS. I have some background (very long ago - late 80's / early 90's) with GIS but at that time is was more about mapping not analysis. In fact, I am looking to use QGIS for building maps for personal use. Something along the lines of the Washington state (US) "Map Your Neighborhood" project. The ability to easily load personal data is important. For me the QGIS Documentation assumes a more current knowledge of the technology and terminology than I have.
