Leverage Python in ArcGIS

- [Instructor] Python is the gateway to automation in GIS. GIS professionals combine and analyze datasets to discover insights. Adding Python scripts to GIS workflows, can lead to deeper insights and faster, more accurate data management. In this course, I'll introduce you to Python using code snippets and short scripts that are applicable to GIS. Learn the basics of interacting with ArcGIS desktop maps, layers and datasets through Python. I'll demonstrate basic programming skills from the ground up, including Python's syntax, how to define variables, and what conditional statement is. My name is Jenny Harrison, and I've been a GIS trainer for over 20 years at my company TeachMeGIS. Let's open ArcMap and start programming.
