Announcing a Morgantown area WVAGP GIS Meetup! Come down to Morgantown Brewing Company (MBC) to geek out (or just hang out) with your fellow GIS friends for an informal social.

Tuesday June 25, 2019

6:30 pm

Morgantown Brewing Company (MBC)

Downtown Morgantown

RSVP

MBC has new ownership and many new beers and lots of good food. Plus, on Tuesdays they have a buy-one-get-one-free for their drafts.

We may try to do a 3 or 5 minute fun “PowerPointless” lightning talk on something cool that you do or know about. Consider doing one! Also, this night coincides with the first day of the GIS Foundations Course held down the road at the WV GIS Tech Center. It would be good to meet and encourage some of our Newbees (even if you may be a Newbee).

Please let me know if you are interested or coming via our Facebook event page so we can have a sense of numbers of folks who will or may be at the pub.

Invite a colleague. Come on down!

This course is designed for professionals who have prior experience with desktop GIS and would like to learn more about web GIS. In this course, you will learn to manage ArcGIS Online organizational accounts, connect to data services, publish your own data, symbolize data and pop-ups, make apps using templates and ArcGIS Web AppBuilder, and make mobile apps for data collection.

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.

PREREQUISITE: You must have prior ArcGIS experience. If you have never done any ArcGIS Python scripting, then you need to take the ESRI online course "Python for Everyone Using ArcGIS 10.x" before attending this workshop.

Spatial statistics is a broad field of interpreting and analyzing geographic data. This workshop introduces you to three of the more commonly used analytical techniques: analysis of spatial autocorrelation, hot spot detection, and geographically weighted regression. We will use ArcGIS 10.x for all exercises.
