Syllabus
Learning algorithmic thinking:
- How semantics can be used to augment geometric models
- The difference between geometry, topology, and attributes
- How query languages can be used to extract data from models
- Become familiar with a range of existing spatial data formats and representations
Learning semantic modelling:
- Modelling with geometry, topology, and collections
- Attaching attribute data to geometry, topology, and collections
- Querying and filtering data in the model using attributes
- Pushing attributes through the topological hierarchy
- Visualizing models with colour and materials
- Understanding polygon normals and their impact on light
- Importing and exporting geometric and geospatial data models
Learning coding:
- Developing complex data structures using nested lists and dictionaries
- Using nested loops and nested conditionals
- Strategies for looping: using a counter or iterating over a list?
- How to avoid deep nesting of loops using data structures
Learning Möbius Modeller:
- The Möbius Spatial Information data model
