joeyklee / broc-cli-geo Goto Github PK

from @auremoser (just wanted to move these nice ideas into the repo):

I all! Such great news, I'm sorry I'm so late to this.

Some resources:

• Mike Bostock has a nice little overview of some gdal/ogr in the wild in this tutorial: https://bost.ocks.org/mike/map/.
• Derrick Watkins has a sweet little cheat sheet of basic operations here: https://github.com/dwtkns/gdal-cheat-sheet
• There's even a readthedocs version here: http://headfirst-gdal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gdal-cheat-sheet.html
• For more Postgres and ogr stuff, here's a good one: http://skipperkongen.dk/tricks/ogr2ogr-tricks/
• Shortcuts has a nice little edu gui for learning: https://www.shortcutfoo.com/app/dojos/command-line

Some names:

• prof-cli = o.k. I think "Professor Command-Line" tutorial series would be very cute, and you could do the geo/general/etc. editions other editions: prof-geo, prof-sed...
• cle = command line education (I checked, there are no offensive acronyms that use these same letters; clé is also "key" in french, for what it's worth)
• cli-foo = simple easy, works with all topics.
• you could go the geo-foo route for sub-naming, or edu-foo which has the rhyming benefit
• I would also suggest animating the name in your readme with ascii gen. In fact, I am happy to do this when you choose a name.

Datasets

We'll need a variety of data to work with (perhaps we can even at some point do different "adventures", like "ecology geo commandline bootcamp adventure" or "urban geocommandline bootcamp")

For now, here's an initial list:

Urban: Just a few examples

• SF Open Data
• Vancouver Open Data
• Portland Open Data
• NYC Open Data

Aerial Imagery / Satellite:

• USGS National Map Viewer
• USGS Earth Explorer

Below is a list of handy geo operations taken from various sources:

• basically everything from https://github.com/dwtkns/gdal-cheat-sheet
• gdal contours
• gdal merge
