    • Yakima Convention Center
    Register

    Description
    Python is now regarded as one of the most popular programming languages of all, if not the most popular. This is especially true for GIS-related requirements, with Python being front and central when it comes to making the most of the ArcGIS technology suite. This workshop will provide an introduction to Python programming without reference to GIS topics, but with an emphasis on preparing attendees for further learning with respect to GIS scripting and development. For anyone interested in attending the associated workshop, "Introduction to ArcGIS Pro Python Tools and Processes Development," this introductory workshop is a prerequisite requirement, while the workshop may also be helpful for anyone wishing to use Python for any purpose.

    Three topics will be covered in the workshop: (1) getting started with Python; (2) the use of JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition, a rich, powerful, and free Integrated Development Environment (IDE); and (3) Python fundamentals, including functions, classes and objects, and error handling.

    Intended Audience
    Anyone wishing to learn the fundamentals of Python programming, especially in support of ArcGIS-related requirements.

    Prerequisite Requirements
    There are no prerequisite requirements. It will be assumed that attendees have little experience with Python and are essentially starting from scratch.

    Associated Workshop
    Completion of this workshop is required for anyone wishing to attend the associated "Introduction to ArcGIS Pro Python Tools and Processes Development" workshop. An exception to this requirement will be made if the instructor is satisfied that your level of Python experience is such that attending the introductory workshop is not necessary. If required, please contact the instructor to request a waiver.

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

    Description

    ArcGIS Pro is a powerful GIS desktop application in which great things can be accomplished using the out-of-the-box user interface options. Users can accomplish significantly more, however, and make the most of their ArcGIS investment, by using Python to perform GIS operations and streamline workflows. For this reason, Python experience is almost always a key consideration in GIS-related hiring decisions.

    This workshop focuses on extending the capabilities of ArcGIS Pro via standalone scripts and tools that can operate within ArcGIS Pro or externally. Three topics will be covered: (1) an overview of using Python with ArcGIS Pro; (2) developing and running Python scripts; and (3) creating and using geoprocessing tools. JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition, a rich, powerful, and free Integrated Development Environment (IDE), will be used for all coding activities.

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

    Prerequisite Requirements
    Anyone wishing to attend this workshop must also attend the associated workshop, "Introduction to Python Programming." An exception to this requirement will be made if the instructor is satisfied that your level of Python experience is such that attending the introductory workshop is not necessary. If required, please contact the instructor to request a waiver.

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