Real-world scenarios

I like the real-world scenarios. My professors used to do GIS before Web GIS was in existence so our curriculum is out of date. The courses Iโ€™ve taken on the Bootcamp GIS platform are so much more useful than my schoolโ€™s lab exercises which only taught me to digitize a line, generate a buffer, and make a map layout.
