Implementation of Postgre SQL in a GIS developers stack is important in understanding where Modern GIS will go, I feel GIS Analyst in the future will be more of a combination of both a Data Analyst and a Geospatial Developer
Agree with you both! Hiring patterns today look a lot different than they did in the past, but we definitely need to improve the way we teach these new skills!
My entire graduate degree was using proprietary software. Out of 20+ courses in grad school, 3 courses were using opensource cosftware. Now, i ended up in a developer role, and am doing everything in my power to shift my workplaces technology off of this vendor lock.
Wow loved the video, been working with GIS for years and this is the first time I hear of modern GIS. Excited to learn more, thank you for the content!!
Thank you for creating this video. I used to be a GIS wiz a few years ago, but due to a few career roadbumps haven't worked with GIS for 5 years. I want to go back and find a job. Starting journey now.
Gasp - I'm so excited, I about want to cry! GIS has so much potential, but the old style drove me bonkers. 8:30 I had you on in the background and happily thought YT was auto playing a Luke B. video 😄
Hii Matt! Interesting video for sure, I think the whole programming/python stuff indeed will be the major part of modern GIS. Im a student in the last year of my bachelor, and im thinking about doing a master in geo-information sciences. Last years I focused on GIS and Ecology and did an internship at the GIS-department of an ecological consultancy firm. I want to learn Python programming so I can up my GIS workflows, but it all seems a bit overwhelming to me, dont really know where to start... Talking about education, my university only thaught me the use of ArcGIS Pro so far. Ive done some ESRI courses that cover Python but its still very basic. Do you have any tips and tricks for me that can give me a push in the right direction?
For sure I feel where you are coming from because it was the same for me. Check out these videos for my favorite Python and SQL resources here: Spatial SQL: th-cam.com/video/gOlZlcfj8z8/w-d-xo.html Python for GIS: th-cam.com/video/eXYg1WC93do/w-d-xo.html
Yes and no (which isn’t the best answer I am aware). I think data science really opened up a lot of space for programming to be used in analytics. But a lot of data science really tends to focus on the modeling or machine learning too. In fact in the data science space they are more and more defining the roles and responsibilities more. I think spatial data science will remain a key user group of GIS but GIS as a technical system will become more open and technical for all user roles and profiles. The fact that GIS has been really siloed over the years is what makes it tricky to explain to others in my opinion.
The platform we all learned on was given to most universities for free and there really isn't a similar competitor like Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, etc... Now that these "modern gis" tools are available, it will be a challenging transition, but will help the old school to stop drinking the Kool Aid.
Hi Matt, I'm completely new to the field of GIS. Currently working on my thesis with the topic: GIS-based modelling for optimised routing of (trans)national hydrogen pipelines. I'm in my second month and got most of the data I need. I have a bit of Experience in Python and am not quite sure how to start. I would have access to both ArcGis and Qgis, is there any avantage for my use case at one of the programms? Right now I'm planning to do the Routing in Python using the package NetwrokX and maybe some of the gis tools through their API. Does this make any sense or am I overlooking something completely. Thanks in Advance. keep up the good work!
Very cool! NetworkX is awesome and check out osmnx as well since you can pull open street map data and do routing analysis. Also check out pgRouting as well.
im BSIT graduate but my work now is GIS analyst. since i transfer when my project desolve. im 1yr and counting as a gis analyst. can you help me or suggest how to learn more deeply as a GIS analyst. since my senior GIS analysts resigned.
@@Ronfsg ask ko lang po kung san ka nagwork / nag aaral ng GIS. currently working po kasi ako sa surveying company at balak ko icareer ang GIS since yun ang work ko ngayon pero wala pang kasamang mga coding, lahat automation / Lidar. 🤗
For me I haven’t used ArcGIS or Esri tools since 2010 so I haven’t been on that ecosystem for a while. But from what I can see in the market and the broader analytics space a more open and interoperable approach tends to be growing. Check out the modern GIS article on my site - forrest.nyc - for more.

I think is already happening if you see linkedin you will find from hiring managers this approach.

Nice that’s a big task but glad to hear it!
Matt you are the reason behind to grow my interest in open source GIS . Thanks man!!! Highly appreciate your affords 👏👏👏
That’s so great to hear and happy I could help!

Nice glad to hear that!
Thanks for the shoutout Matt! I learned a lot from this video, realized I need to study up on my GIS knowledge!
For sure thanks for setting up a great project base to use! And happy to chat about GIS any time!
Beautiful. The future is promising!
Thanks!

@@MattForrest Thanks!! Really appreciate it! Keep up the good stuff man 😀
GIS is still hard to explain to others. Do you see Modern GIS as Data Science with GIS as the tool?
Yes and no (which isn’t the best answer I am aware). I think data science really opened up a lot of space for programming to be used in analytics. But a lot of data science really tends to focus on the modeling or machine learning too. In fact in the data science space they are more and more defining the roles and responsibilities more.

@@MattForrest I have a colleague that describes GIS as modern Geography.

Definitely and working on a video that talks about why we need to stop thinking of GIS as an all or nothing industry.
Thank you for sharing

Thanks so much!!!

Why do didn't mention git? I think is and important tool now in geoscience. Cheers.
It definitely is but it is more of a general tool for all programming rather than a tool to help with analysis which is why I didn't include it.
im BSIT graduate but my work now is GIS analyst. since i transfer when my project desolve. im 1yr and counting as a gis analyst. can you help me or suggest how to learn more deeply as a GIS analyst. since my senior GIS analysts resigned.

@@mandata143 actually boss inadopt ko lang ung mga turo ng senior GIS analyst ko po sa company namen.
@@Ronfsg ahhhh. I see. Congrats! Pero may prog language ba kayong mga gamit like geopandas or fuliom?
Open standards - tell that to ESRI! They seem dead set on having their own set of closed off formats, annoyingly.
Very true!
great!
Thanks!
learn Esri or Hexagon. its like tableau or power bi
You definitely can! I haven't since 2010 and since those are paid tools I try to showcase open source and free tools to get started.
So is ArcGIS and ESRI not the future?
For me I haven’t used ArcGIS or Esri tools since 2010 so I haven’t been on that ecosystem for a while. But from what I can see in the market and the broader analytics space a more open and interoperable approach tends to be growing. Check out the modern GIS article on my site - forrest.nyc - for more.
is geomatics Engineering the same as geospatial Engineering sir ?
Definitely different as I am focusing on data engineering not engineering.
