Pandas Docs

I do a lot of Python coding, and pandas is one of my favorite ways of working with data, spatial or otherwise. I find myself in their documentation and examples on a weekly basis for something or other.

OSM Wiki

A bit more niche, but if you use OSM, the OpenStreetMap Wiki is an invaluable resource in understanding how the map is supposed to work. Related: taginfo

Regex101

I’m not on here as often as the other stuff, but when I need it, it’s the gold standard. Exactly what you want, interactive, built-in explainers. If you have to write some regex, it’s the site to use.

I am a fan of the old school textbook, especially for many remote sensing workflows. I have also leaned heavily on YouTube in the past. I am now experimenting with Copilot Chat. I use it to craft workflows and then research the instructions it provides.
