Introduction to the ArcGIS API for Python |

Introduction

The ArcGIS API for Python is a powerful, modern, and easy to use Pythonic library for performing GIS visualization and analysis, spatial data management and GIS system administration tasks that can run both interactively and using scripts. The API works with the online and on-premises web GIS platform provided by ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise respectively and has Python modules, classes, functions, and types for managing and working with elements of the ArcGIS platform information model.

The class will consist of a balance between lectures and hands-on exercises. The examples will make use of publicly available GIS resources, but students may work with their own online resources if they so wish.

Attendees will be able to leave the workshop having a strong basis for recognizing and pursuing their ArcGIS customization needs, increasing the value of their ArcGIS investment and enhancing their standing and employability as GIS professionals.

This course is offered in a variety of formats including live-classroom, live-online, and hybrid. This is a hands-on style workshop with lots of exercises designed to teach you how to automate your ArcGIS geoprocessing tasks with Python.

Intended Audience

GIS professionals familiar with ArcGIS Online and having a basic knowledge of Python programming.

Jason WarzinikBoone County, MO

"I have attended a number of instructor lead training courses offered by ESRI, which are great in their own right, but the Mastering the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API course gets much more in-depth than they often do. I really liked the recommended reading, they helped expand the terms being covered in lecture to concrete examples that could be related back to my work more directly instead of just having the lecture and exercises alone. I learned a lot andwill recommend this and other GeoSpatial Training courses to the GIS'ers I know. Thanks for putting this course together and offering it ...
