FAQ

Can you recommend some good QGIS plugins?
Can I use Python 2.7 for the homeworks?
How to use the “command prompt” (also called shell or terminal) under Windows?
Where can I download DTMs?

If you work with raster files, use the Value Tool.
the 3D-view of QGIS is rather buggy in our experience, for terrains better to use qgis2threejs

Can I use Python 2.7 for the homeworks?

No. Python 3.6+ is mandatory, otherwise the code we give you will not run.

How to use the “command prompt” (also called shell or terminal) under Windows?

This very handy PDF from the IHE Delft explains how to start a shell where you can access all the GDAL utilities.

Where can I download DTMs?

This list is a good start
and that one is also pretty good
SRTM datasets are super cumbersome to download, better to use that very handy site
AHN3 datasets are freely available on PDOK
