GeoTools Geospatial Introduction Workshop
11-17, 13:30–16:30 (Pacific/Auckland), WF611 The Jody Garnett Room!

Introduction to spatial concepts for the Java developer. This is a great programmer first introduction to everything from geometry to map features and styling.

Workshop updated with latest Java 17, ImageN, and CQL2 technologies.

Are you new to GeoSpatial? This GeoTools session is back by popular demand updated with Java 17 examples and the latest ImageN and CQL2 technologies. Offering a visual introduction for Java developers we will explore how you can integrate GIS services into your next project.

For those new to the GeoSpatial scene we provide an introduction to spatial concepts and how to avoid common pitfalls.

The workshop offers a steady series of workbooks introducing:

  • Feature creation
  • JTS Geometry
  • Coordinate Reference Systems and Re-projection
  • Geospatial data and spatial queries
  • Accessing large format rasters
  • Rendering, cartography and styling
  • Raster Operations with ImageN

Covering both the concepts and the science of map making the workbooks serve as an excellent reference, but the focus is always on you and the code you need to get the job done.

This is a hands-on workshop - so bring your Java IDE or command line and a sense of adventure.
