PostGIS is a powerful extension for PostgreSQL that enables you to store, analyze, and manipulate spatial data. It is widely used in various domains, such as web mapping, geospatial analytics, and location-based services. However, PostGIS is not a static tool. It evolves constantly, adding new features, improving performance, and integrating with other technologies. How do you keep up with the latest developments and trends in PostGIS and geospatial technology? Here are some tips to help you stay updated and relevant in this dynamic field.

1 Follow official sources

One of the best ways to learn about the latest updates and releases of PostGIS is to follow the official sources of information, such as the PostGIS website, the PostGIS blog, the PostGIS mailing list, and the PostGIS Twitter account. These sources provide timely and reliable news, announcements, tutorials, and tips on PostGIS and related topics. You can also check the PostGIS documentation, which is regularly updated and contains detailed information on the features and functions of PostGIS.

One of my number one tips for PostGIS is to be comfortable reading the documentation. Once you are able to use it to look at a function signature and understand the outputs, and some of the examples, you can stay on top of any changes or new functions. One other source I highly recommend is the Crunchy Data blog. There are a ton of great resources and tutorials to help you get started on many different skills, but I definitely appreciate their in-depth details on advanced topics like raster data, map tiles, and foreign data wrappers.

2 Join online communities

Another way to keep up with the latest developments and trends in PostGIS and geospatial technology is to join online communities of PostGIS users and enthusiasts. There are many platforms where you can interact with other PostGIS users, such as Stack Overflow, Reddit, GIS Stack Exchange, LinkedIn, and Slack. These platforms allow you to ask questions, share experiences, exchange ideas, and learn from others. You can also find useful resources, such as articles, podcasts, videos, webinars, and courses on PostGIS and geospatial technology.

The best way to do this is to get your hands dirty and give new use cases a try. There is no better way to learn something than trying it out either by using a tutorial or by testing out something from scratch. Don't be afraid to get a ton of errors or have something not work. Being resourceful and relying on the documentation, tutorials, or similar tutorials that may not be spatial in nature can be a big help.

5 Experiment with new features and functions

A fifth way to keep up with the latest developments and trends in PostGIS and geospatial technology is to experiment with new features and functions that are added to PostGIS and geospatial technology. You can try out new features and functions by installing the latest version of PostGIS, using the PostGIS Docker image, or using online services that support PostGIS, such as Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, or Heroku. You can also use tools such as pgAdmin, QGIS, or GeoServer to explore and visualize the results of your experiments.
