I’m teaching myself QGIS for almost half a year now and it really helps to watch this video. Makes you realize what youve been doing wrong. Thanks for the help!

Hans - I really enjoyed this video it covers a lot of useful information and I am recommending my colleagues look at it as part of learning QGIS. It does end rather abruptly though!

[@marcdeboswachter7927]

wonderfull lecture Hans

[@dessalegntiku6317]

Sir, Thank you so much ! Is it possible to create and edit a file geodatabase in QGIS ? if possible, Is there a video to lean how to do that.

[@thangamaninmamit-civil6860]

SIR DO YOU HAVE ARC GIS PRACTICAL VIDEO'S?

[@HansvanderKwast]

No, because (1) QGIS is better, (2) QGIS is Open Source and (3) I can't afford an ESRI license. QGIS does everything I need.

Please let me know what software is being used in the video

[@HansvanderKwast]

The examples are mostly from QGIS, but the good practice is applicable to any desktop GIS software.
