You just need to download the data, and check that you have ArcGIS Pro and your Python IDE working first. Most sections of this course can be taken in any order.

The course is also suitable for ArcGIS Pro end users who wish to learn ArcPy, but they may need to embark on a steep Python learning curve, if they have minimal skills in that language. While relatively little Python experience is needed to undertake the course, the Python classes and functions used may be easier to understand if you have already undertaken introductory Python training - such as the Learn Programming Academy’s Python Masterclass. It will also introduce them to many aspects of the ArcGIS Pro GUI, so that they are well placed to understand the requirements of the end users for the applications that they write.

This course is primarily designed to introduce Python developers to the ArcPy classes and functions for working with ArcGIS Pro. The global Geographic Information System (GIS) market is expected to by worth over ten billion dollars by 2023, and is growing at a huge rate.ĭevelopers who are skilled with appropriate GIS software are already in high demand and the demand is growing.Īt the GIS Stack Exchange - the spatial library for Python - the most questions asked are for ArcPy, which provides a Python API to Esri’s flagship product ArcGIS Desktop and its two main applications (ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap).Ĭonsequently, there has never been a better time for Python developers to add ArcPy skills to their repertoire.
