About Intro to Geoprocessing Scripts with Python

Python is a general-purpose high-level programming language, designed to be easily read. Python is used as the primary ArcGIS scripting language to perform geoprocessing and map production tasks. This course introduces the Python scripting syntax and shows how to use scripts to access and automate geoprocessing tasks. You will also work with ArcPy, an Esri-developed site package for Python that integrates Python scripts into ArcGIS Desktop.

Day 1 (Monday) Topic: Intro to Python
Day 2 (Tuesday) Topic: Geoprocessing in Python
Day 3 (Wednesday) Topic: Map Automation using Python

INSTRUCTOR: Jamison Conley, WVU Professor of Geography

COURSE PREREQUISITES: Must have prior ArcGIS experience. WVAGP courses GIS Foundations or Transition to ArcGIS Pro preferred. If you have never done any ArcGIS Python scripting, then you may find the free ESRI online courses Python for Everyone or Learn Python with ArcGIS Notebooks useful.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC: We are doing everything we can to ensure in-person instruction for this workshop, and we continue to follow West Virginia University's COVID-19 protocols.
