Ever wanted to make a Google Map or another map mashup? Ever wanted to use GIS to explore data and make simple maps? Found the standard tutorials too hard? Well forunately there is hope: tutorials made by non-geographers.
The Knight Digitial Media Foundation at the University of California Berkley's Graduate School of Journalism has a series of easy to read, understand, and use tutorials on how to make your own maps or use QGIS, a free GIS program.
Those who already know how to use QGIS or make a mashup will learn nothing new. However, students and a curious public will indeed get the skills they need to indulge their inner cartographer. (Hat Tip: Der Hunter)
