QGIS Tutorial Links

With the release of QGIS 2.0 (and greater), this open source project has become a serious contender for a full-blown GIS solution that covers nearly all of the necessary features found in ArcGIS but at a reasonable price (free!). I’ve started to use QGIS in all of my projects and am very pleased by its features and performance. Like all complex software, there is a learning curve but if one knows ArcGIS already most of it is fairly self-explanatory. I’ve started to assemble some tutorials that I can point students towards. Here’s the list I have to date:
