GMT 456 GIS Programming

This repository contains sample data, information and code about the "GMT 456 GIS Programming" course offered at the Geomatics Engineering Dept. of Hacettepe University, Turkey.

The aim of this course is to teach students how to collaborate on a software project involving spatial analysis by using git.

The successful students would:

• Describe the Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) phases,
• Document the design and requirements of the software project that s/he worked on,
• Demonstrate the ability to work as a team for the purpose of developing a new or updating an existing QGIS plugin.

Contents:

• Object oriented programming - recap
  • Function Calls – pass by reference vs pass by value
• Data structures (arrays, linked lists, graphs) - recap
• Qt Designer
  • Signal- Slot
• Google Earth Engine
• Building a QGIS Plugin
