PyQGIS for GIS automation and DEM mapping #67843

Description

@Im-Picardo

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

freeCodeCamp currently does not appear to have a beginner-friendly course focused on PyQGIS and DEM-based GIS automation. Learners who want to combine Python with QGIS for terrain mapping, raster/vector handling, and spatial analysis do not have a structured FCC curriculum path for it.

Describe the solution you'd like

A course on
PyQGIS for GIS automation and DEM mapping
It should cover the QGIS Python Console, loading vector and raster layers, CRS/projection handling, DEM visualization, hillshade, contour generation, basic spatial analysis, and automation of mapping workflows for beginners.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative would be a shorter introductory Python-for-GIS lesson or a learning path that links Python basics with QGIS automation. A full PyQGIS course would still be the most useful option.

Additional context

  • FCC already teaches programming, so this would fit as a Python + automation learning path rather than a pure GIS theory course.
  • PyQGIS is a practical Python API for QGIS and is used for scripting and automation workflows.
  • A beginner-friendly course could help learners who already know basic Python and want to apply it to real GIS tasks.
  • The course could bridge manual QGIS work and code-based GIS automation.
