GIS (Geographic information system) skills are really important these days, it should be in every developers toolbox - as every app usually has a mapping component and the planet (and even other planets!) needs more people to know GIS!
In this talk I'll give an entry level guide to the technology - centered around what I believe are nice core open source tools that we use every day in our business and will set you up to start your GIS journey.
These are mainly
PostGIS (GIS on Postgresql)
QGIS (probably one of the best organised and funded Open Source projects out there)
LeafletJS
Got it, Steve. Here's the revised bio:
More than just a software dev, I'm a tech generalist with a knack for getting things done. I lead the Refactor team on the Gold Coast and have had my hand in everything from IoT innovations to blockchain ventures. Beyond coding, I've always been keen on supporting our local developer community and fostering discussions at Gold Coast TechSpace. If you're into tech or just curious, I'm always up for a good conversation!
