this legend of a man was born in the wrong generation for the quality of his jokes

[@tirivanganiProjecpaguti]

this video is very educative may you continue the good work , in zimbabwe GIS is a new area and if it could be used in education at secondary and at college .this has helped me much for my diploma in applied GIS and remote sensing

[@elliotbaxendale9926]

Very informative. Thank you.. also my love for the Bonobo has increased ten fold

[@muzaffarkamil]

wonderful best ever seen video on gis thanks a lot

[@sam2026]

This video made me choose GIS as my major Sophomore year of HS. I appreciate it.

[@ElEucas]

Thanks Jere Folgert, very clear!. If you don't mind this video it will be shown as a part of explanation of mine, about Coding on GIS. It will be edited but I will give the source video on KZbin.

[@RedDIrtKat]

God among men. You literally covered what took my prof an entire semester. She's an extremely nice lady….but she overcomplicated EVERYTHING. I wish I wouldn't found this video earlier….her class was the first geog class I did not enjoy and I believe this may have altered it…but at least it'll save my ass on the final. Thanks!

[@maxwellchiazor5560]

Very useful to trainingmy students. Thank you

[@blogger365]

Thank you very much. I watched the whole video. -- from the Philippines

[@rheung3]

Many thanks indeed. This is probably the best GIS tutorial I've ever found. : )

[@knowgis]

Thank you. Visit KnowGIS.com I'm here to help. Let me know what project(s) you are working on. Our KnowGIS 10.x training series has been sold to folks around our globe (30+ countries) and we've had wonderful feedback. I have many people to thank.

[@amydee7]

Thanks for making this topic understandable and not scary :)

[@goodjai]

This is the most comprehensive and the best VDO about GIS. Thank you very much. Anyone new (or even experienced) to GIS should watch this - several times. By the way, if you allow, I would like to make a narration of this VDO in Thai and publish it for free on KZbin. All original VDO will be kept, and the content will be translated precisely according to the original English narration.

[@gadisiraheli4892]

I've only just started but I already appreciate all the work that was put into this. Awesome video.

[@raoahsan6935]

Found it very helpful and comprehensive!

[@LearnGIS]

I like the mention of John Snow's map. It is one of the greatest use of spatial analysis in the early days of modern science.

[@luckyfamilyman]

great stuff! Nice usage of the dry humor to push the information out while keeping attention of the audience... Good Job!

[@abdulibrahim3930]

I'm 5th year Urban planning student in ECSU - Ethiopia, I've found this video highly useful, Would you please elaborate the practical application of GIS in city planning so as to improve planning decision ? tnx

[@pambears1]

A punch card business specifically for boxers..... just take my like, goddammit!

[@theogravity]

Thank you so much for this video, Jere. I can tell you put a lot of work into it. Wanted to learn a bit about basic GIS while reading a book on PostGIS (a database called PostGres that has an extension that supports GIS data). Learned quite a bit! Still having trouble with understanding what datums are other than the concept of horizontal/vertical datums, and that vertical ones seem to be about elevations.

[@gauravmalik7351]

This is great video on GIS..Great Effort..

[@spencerball7389]

At 35 minutes and 55 seconds into the video, you state that: "Longitude angular measurements stored in the GIS often have a negative value if the angle is west of the Prime Meridian." However, the angle is ALWAYS (not just OFTEN) negative if it is west of the Prime Meridian.

[@BohdanMelnychuk]

This is video is so 2000s in style :) Thank you 😊

[@biggiechanda7167]

"In a nutshell" is a saying that you relate to something you say. Implying that it is a nutshell version of the actual amount you could have said about a subject.

[@nokuzothanzima6581]

very informative

[@MsShane172]

Good explanation indeed

[@beflap1991]

This video is full of dad jokes. Besides that, very useful!

[@spencerball7389]

At 39 minutes and 40 seconds into the video, you state (and show in a graphic) that the International Date Line is the Prime Meridian. However, the International Date Line is at 180 degrees longitude (and varies) and Prime Meridian is at 0 (zero) degrees longitude.

[@jeremiah1059]

[@anonviewerciv]

[@tirivanganiProjecpaguti]

can you send me a pdf that can help me in my studies in gis

[@markkeith8961]

Is there a transcript or a closed captioned version of this video? Thanks.

[@theartofamateurism5618]

jokes kept me from zoning out, sweet

[@UTprema]

KnowGIS.com does not work? Web page gets redirected to another web site, which does not load either. Any ideas Jere?

[@UTprema]

How do i get the program, and what is the cost. Thank you. The presentation of the tutorials are quite interesting.
