Beginner Courses

Introduction to FME Desktop

Description: Are you new to FME? This course introduces the essential components and capabilities of FME through hands-on problem-solving exercises. It is a condensed version of the more in-depth FME Desktop Basic training and is a great start to becoming an efficient user of FME. Learn how to integrate with spreadsheets and spatial data, without any coding. No prior FME or GIS experience is required.

Prerequisites: None

Duration: 3 hours

Beginner/Intermediate Courses

Getting Started with GML, XML & Web Services

Description: Do you want to love XML as much as Don does? XML is commonly used on the web because it is text-based and supports complex data structures and multiple languages. Related GML is an open standard that supports the storage and exchange of geospatial features using schemas. Learn how to read, process, and write a variety of XML and GML with FME and perform the transformations necessary to integrate with relational structures more typical of GIS. Then interact with and publish to web services.

Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with FME Desktop, at least to the extent covered by the Getting Started with FME Desktop tutorial, or Integrate Data with the FME Platform.

Duration: 1.5 hours

Through practical coding exercises, you will execute Python scripts before, after, and during an FME translation. With FME supporting Python 3 for years, you will continue to be able to integrate Python into your FME workflows.

Prerequisites: Assumes familiarity with the concepts and practices of FME Desktop; at least to the extent covered by the Getting Started with FME Desktop tutorial, and preferably the Integrate Data with the FME Platform or FME Desktop Basic.
