Barry Rowlingson has very kindly volunteered to pull together a skeleton
for a PostGIS quickstart (after much pleading from me). I'm really
appreciative as Postgis is such a key application, and Barry writes very
well (you can see some of his handywork by looking at the R quickstart
and overview).
Barry's question was what should go into a Postgis quickstart?
"maybe something like 1: load this shapefile into postgis. 2: fire up
qgis, load postgis layer 3: profit??"
I notice there is an outstanding ticket for a postgis quickstart raised
by Paul Ramsey here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/149
* Hi!
* Create database
* Load data
* query data
* lat/lon vs cartesiasn
* some queries
* data onto gmaps
Is there anything else we should be considering?
Should we use a PG Admin interface or command line? (We should be
targeting absolute beginners)
