This is An Introduction to Python Programming with a GIS Focus. This course is designed to instill the basics of Python Programming by incrementally increasing your knowledge section-upon-section. The course comes with a Reference Workbook for you to add information to at each section. This will enhance the learning experience and make the material stick. The Reference Workbook is something your future-self will appreciate as you refer back to it on you Python journey for information and code snippet examples.
So how does this course have a GIS focus? Simple, most elements of the course have GIS and geospatial data in mind. Instead of using non-descript variables and values, we will use terms such as population, city, x_coord, y_coord, and so on. This will aid participants with pinpointing how they can relate geospatial data to Python. There are some elements, for simplicity, we will use an alternate approach. At the end of most sections we will have a ‘GIS Use Cases’ topic which will further demonstrate where the material from the section can be applied in GIS.
What you will learn...
An overview of what Python Programming is
What variables are
Python data types (numerical, string (text), list, tuple, dictionary, set)
Operators (numerical, logical, comparison)
Efficient comprehension with Python
Controlling program flow
Built-in functions
Exceptions handling
Object Orientated Programming (OOP)
The Standard Python Library
All you need for this course is a computer and motivation to learn. You simply cannot learn Python in two hours no matter what other courses might tell you. The key is to be a consistent learner. The content of this course covers a lot, but there is still work for you to do and that is where the Reference Workbook comes in to play. By following this course and filling in the workbook you will supercharge your Python learning an application of the programming language from the start.
You course instructor, Glen Bambrick, has over 18 years as a GIS Professional with over 10 of those years utilising Python for geospatial tasks and automation mainly with the Esri ArcGIS software suite. Glen is also an Esri Communities MVP mainly answering questions and providing solution for the ArcGIS API for Python and ArcPy.
Thank you for your interest in this course.
