Carleton University Open Source GIS Tutorials
Welcome to our database of tutorials for Open Source GIS software. This collection has grown mostly through the contributions of students in | GEOM 4008 at | Carleton University's Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, but additions or revisions from other members of the community are welcome.
In recent years, each GEOM 4008 student has chosen one tutorial already in the list to update/advance/improve, and has also written a new tutorial - the tutorial list includes dates of authorship and revision, which can be used to assess how current the content will be. The tutorials should be fairly platform-independent, but in some cases you may notice features that are specific to Windows, macOS, or Linux platforms. Usually this only pertains to file system layouts or the look and feel of user interfaces.

Tutorials From 2010 and earlier, and other deprecated tutorials
The tutorials from here down are quite old and are not included in the categorized lists above. Most are from 2010; a couple of tutorials from the 2008 class have been ported, but importing the remainder is hampered by version differences in the wiki software used to build them that year. Some tutorials that were worked on more recently have been moved down here because there are now problems using them on modern versions of the relevant software.
If future students decide to update any of these, they are more than welcome to, and at that time they can be moved into the categorized lists above.
Unless otherwise noted in the individual tutorial, all of these were originally developed on/for a Windows environment. Specifically, most students were using classroom computers running Windows XP, with QGIS 1.5 (including GRASS Tools), and FWTools. Please note that this environment imposed a 32 bit Windows XP constraint that prevented the system from using all the RAM in the computers, which is likely the culprit in those cases where the tutorial authors complained that the tools could not work with larger datasets.
