Welcome to the Smart Map In Python Tutorial Series. In this tutorial series
we'll be building a python GIS application from scratch using a variety of open
source technologies. The purpose of this tutorial and many more to follow, is to
take geospatial analytics and convert it into a functional application.
We will be powering our application with a PostgreSQL and PostGIS database. In
the front-end we'll use Bootstrap, JavaScript and Ajax. On the server side we'll be
using Python 3 Django combined with use of scientific libraries like pandas, for
our data transformation and conversion operations. The operating system that we
will be working on is Ubuntu Linux 16.04.
