Python for ArcGIS
This class is designed with a strong first-day focus on the basic elements of Python itself. There will be lots of hands-on
participation, and opportunities to work exercises both individually and in groups. By the end of day one, we will arrive at using Python on the ArcGIS 10 command line, and in field calculations. On the second day we will focus much more on scripting, and especially on ESRI's "arcpy" module. We will explore the creation of geoprocessing scripts, debugging, handling errors, and specific methods to access and modify GIS data and files. 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 Arctools.
