GIS Exchange

Alas, here we are on a blog which is meant to disseminate everything about GIS. It is a platform where knowledge will be shared, ideas will be exchanged, doubts will be clarified and most of all passion of GIS domain will be curious explored. I believe that best tutor or teacher is one who makes fresh minds comprehend complex things by using simple terms or analogies. This belief will be reflected in each of the posts, in my blog. I will use a language style and procedural steps to document both simple and complex map outputs.

The Plan for now is structure the blog into four segments.

1. Conceptual (Tagged as concepts)
2. Tools & Analysis (Tagged by Software Product name)
3. Research, Analysis & impacts (Tagged as implementations)
3. Web Application (Tagged as Application and technology name)

Analysis and web application may lure readers to simply repeat whatever is prescribed. But, i strongly recommend not to do so. It is imperative that an GIS Analyst understand every bit of concepts behind every technique or tool, for it is in those tiny detailing lies the treasures of information that can be extrapolated from your complex or large data sets. I will try to share most of my conceptual understand under separate post treads, but if it is not found on my blog, please search for additional resources (books, journals or web), and then come back for procedures listed here. Technology has given us products, tools and techniques, that can be automated. Replicating them is just a matter of  gaining skill expertise over time. But what really differentiates an analyst from the ordinary, is the conceptual understanding of domain knowledge he posses.

To start with, the blog will have posts of my post grad record documents, which will be handy for student community. What will follow these records will be industry best practices, domain trends and analysis methodologies, all within the scope of geo-informatics and GIS.

So, milk the most from out of this blog! Email or post comments if you ave any questions! Comment your perspective or ideas,.
