Welcome
to the Essential Guide to GIS.
The aim of this guide is to provide newcomers to the field of GIS with
a basic grounding of the principals and technology of Geographical Information
Systems.
This guide was orginally produced as a small paperback booklet (still available
from GeoInformation International in Cambridge, England) however I have
extended the orignal to include a hands-on GIS workshop using downloadable
software and data.
I hope to update the guide from time to time, so if you have anything which
you feel should be covered in more detail, please contact me.
