<h3 class="mt-2 mb-4"> Coming soon</h3>
<h3 class="mt-2 mb-4">Plenty of resources</h3>

<br><br><br><br><br>
There are plenty of resources to get started and learn GRASS GIS online: from
[manual pages](/learn/manuals) for each module and addon with examples and
[wiki](https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS-Wiki) pages with applications
and use cases to beginner and advanced [courses and workshops](/learn/tutorials),
videos and presentations for specific topics,
[jupyter notebooks](https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Jupyter_notebooks)
with different workflows and [books](/learn/books).
You may even [try GRASS online](/learn/tryonle) to get a feeling of its capabilities!

#### Written
You can find many tutorials in different languages on the [tutorials](/learn/tutorials) page. But here are some links to specific resources that might help you get started:

* The [Quickstart](https://grass.osgeo.org/grass-stable/manuals/helptext.html) in the manual pages.
* The [Quick GUI tutorial](https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Quick_wxGUI_tutorial)
* An [introductory workshop](http://ncsu-geoforall-lab.github.io/grass-intro-workshop/) from Vaclav Petras & the NCSU GeoForAll Lab.
* The material from the workshop ["From GRASS GIS novice to power user"](https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/From_GRASS_GIS_novice_to_power_user_(workshop_at_FOSS4G_Boston_2017))
* For more [specific topics](https://grass.osgeo.org/grass-stable/manuals/graphical_index.html) (e.g. raster data, vector data, database, etc), you should also read the relevant topic introductions provided as they will provide you with helpful information about how these specific domains are handled in GRASS GIS.
