commercial programming tools. Topics include GIS user-interface
design, advanced functions and tools coding, fundamental spatial
data structures and algorithms, and geospatial database
management. | | Oasis Title: | Programming for GIS | | Duplicate Credit: | Not open to students with credit in GEOG 4590E or GEOG 6590E | | Undergraduate Prerequisite: | GEOG 4370/6370-4370L/6370L or permission of department | | Graduate Prerequisite: | GEOG 4370/6370-4370L/6370L or permission of department | Semester Course
Offered: | Offered spring semester every year. | | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| | Course Objectives: | Students will develop geographic information science
programming skills which are essential for both academic
research and practical applications relevant to business,
industry, and governmental users.
Students will gain practical experience with a suite of
geographic information system software packages, including
programming skills for routine customization.
Students will master fundamental elements of logic that
structure and guide programming activities in the geographic
information sciences.
This course satisfies the Computer Literacy and Critical
Thinking General Learning Activities, through its emphasis on
geographic information science programming skills and
exploration of the logic which underpins these skills. | | Topical Outline: | 1) Introduction to programming with objects
