Definitely not an “all you’ll need”, but I think enough force self-learner to get some idea about whether you will like it and if so, what aspect(s) (getting the data in, getting information out, or both?): - Install PostgreSQL - Install the PostGIS extension - Download an extract of OpenStreetMap - Get it into PostgeSQL - Play with rendering tools (e.g. a few square kilometers around your house, leaving out all roads) - Play with querying the PostgreSQL database (e.g. try figuring out what the closest library yo your home is, according to OpenStreetMap, or try counting the streets within a block, or the number of houses) - Try adding some other data to your database I think all but the last should be doable in a few weeks for a self-learner with access to Google.
