Description
This workshop is the second of a pair of workshops related to the development of ArcGIS Pro Python tools and processes and focuses on extending the capabilities of ArcGIS Pro via standalone scripts and tools that can operate within ArcGIS Pro or externally. Three primary topics will be covered: (1) ArcGIS Pro Python overview; (2) developing and running Python scripts; and (3) creating and using geoprocessing tools (Script Tools and Python Toolboxes). JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition will be used for coding demonstrations.

Intended Audience
GIS professionals familiar with ArcGIS Pro and wishing to use Python to develop GIS tools and processes.

Prerequisite Requirement
Anyone wishing to attend this workshop must also attend the first workshop in the pair, entitled "Introduction to Python Programming," which covers the main Python capabilities relevant to ArcGIS Pro tools and processes development. Exceptions to this requirement will only be made if the instructor is satisfied that your level of Python experience is strong enough that the introductory workshop is not necessary. Please contact the instructor to discuss your situation, if required.

Format and Technical Requirements
The workshop will consist of a balance between lecture material and demonstrations. Instructions for setting up the required software will be provided prior to the workshop.

A Zoom meeting link will be provided by the instructor.

All attendees must use a microphone and webcam (unless this is not possible due to medical reasons).
