Python for ArcGIS
This workshop is designed with a strong first-day focus on the basic elements of Python programming. There will be lots of hands-on participation, and opportunities to work exercises individually, with your neighbors, and as a class. With this foundation of the basics of Python in place, on the second day we will focus more on using Python for geoprocessing work flows with a special emphasis on using it in the ArcGIS world. As on the first day, there will be lots of hands-on participation and exercises to reinforce the material. By the end of day two, we will be creating geoprocessing scripts from scratch and even wrapping them back into toolboxes.

Instructor: Matthew Collier - matt@attributeq.com

Matthew has been using the Python programming language for wrangling data, and task automation since 2006. He developed his first Python workshop for beginners in 2010 and has taught numerous programming workshops directly for academia, and industry professionals. Matthew's recent major Python experiences include teaching Python for the Geoprogramming class at OU in the fall of 2012; the SCAUG conferences in 2012 at McAllen, and 2013 in OKC; and the SCAUG Python training events in November 2013 and February 2014;  Furthermore, he completed a collaborative programming project at the USGS in 2013 to modernize a tool for spatially stratified random sampling from AML into Python. And, current work at USGS includes using Python scripting to automate near real-time evapotranspiration calculations using local weather data and remotely sensed imagery for agricultural regions in California and New Mexico.
