Big Data At Work: The World Is Making A Digital Copy Of Itself Steven Wright, the great deadpan comedian, told what may have been the first big data joke: “I have a map of the United States, actual size. People ask me where I live, I say E5.” Today, we’ve got interactive, geolocation-based apps in our pockets. In other words, the world is making a digital copy of itself. Think of it like this. As such digital copies become ever more faithful representations of the actual, they’re no longer shadows of the real world. But there’s a big catch. Let’s back up briefly to put this into context: The history of computing is one of reduction. With such reductions, you gain simplicity and clarity. But big data is about expansion, not reduction. There’s some very good news, though. Learn from your Data This loops us back to where this post began, where I talked about the imperative to implement a vastly different way of looking at data. The expansionist approach to data explores that data before funneling it into a nice, neat model.

Free GIS Programming Tutorials: Learn How to Code - GIS Geography What do successful self-taught GIS programmers eat for breakfast? A healthy dose of Python, JavaScript, SQL, VB.NET, C++, HTML, CSS… In that order are the most popular GIS programming languages. It’s not necessary to have GIS programming skills to land a job in the industry. But it’s a feather in your cap if you do. And it will certainly help. If you’re just starting out, we flaunt some of the best, free GIS programming resources available to pave your way to coding competency: GIS Programming in Applications – Python, C++, .NET, C# Python has been a standard language in GIS because Esri and open source tend to gravitate toward it. In addition to Python, C++, C# and .NET languages exist in GIS: C++ lets you work in multiple environments. We suggest to learn Python first because its usually the first language a company looks for. Here are 3 bare-boned courses to start your journey into Python programming: Programming Foundation with Python (Udacity) – Actively learn to code in Python for free.
About BSC | BSC-CNS Early in 2004 the Ministry of Education and Science (Spanish Government), Generalitat de Catalunya (local Catalan Government) and Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) took the initiative of creating a National Supercomputing Center in Barcelona. BSC-CNS (Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación) is the National Supercomputing Facility in Spain and was officially constituted in April 2005. BSC-CNS manages MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, located at the Torre Girona chapel. All these activities are complementary to each other and very tightly related. HISTORY Even though the center is relatively new, the history of BSC-CNS is also interesting to know about. ORGANIZATION In this section you will find how BSC-CNS is structured as well as the different boards that constitute our organization. PUBLICATIONS In this section you will find all scientific publications published from BSC-CNS’s researchers as well as of MareNostrum users.

Sand Falls How can we extract quantitative data from the impact of a work of art? This is the question put into play in the installation “Sand Falls”. It is an attempt to extract in an objective and aggregate way the impact of the presence of five groups of works of art on the visitors of an exhibition. Or seen another way, the influence of the different works on the visitors. Building Your GIS Skills: Anytime, Anywhere | Research Commons Call me biased, but I think the best time for learning more about GIS is… anytime! For many, it seems like the summer is a prime time for seeking out resources to build up skills using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Over the past few weeks, I’ve received numerous requests from OSU faculty, staff, and students asking about self-paced training modules available for ArcGIS Desktop in particular. Some of these researchers were looking for ways to build up their own skills with the program, while others were looking for resources they could pass along to graduate and undergraduate assistants. ArcGIS Desktop is available for free to all OSU faculty, staff and students through an Esri site license managed by the OCIO and can be downloaded through the OCIO self-service catalog. To access the license server following your download, follow the instructions provided in the associated Knowledge Base article: KB04502. 1) Learn ArcGIS Lessons 2) SpatiaLABS 3) Getting to Know ArcGIS
