For years now I've been recommending QGIS to friend and colleagues with the caveat that there is bit of a learning curve, but that it's really great!  So to help these people along I've created a video tutorial that will get you up and running with QGIS. Intro to QGIS: Installing and Importing - Quickstart guide It is my first ever video tutorial so please be kind but I do welcome suggestions for improving them or requests for topics/questions you are interested in.  In future I probably won't record on quite so little sleep with a sleeping baby in the next room...
