A Python Primer for ArcGIS®: Workbook III

A Python Primer for ArcGIS® Workbook III (3 of 3)<br /> <br />The automation of geoprocessing tasks is a common practice among GIS professionals. Python is the standard programming language for ArcGIS and other fields such as remote sensing, GPS, spatial modeling, and statistical analysis. <br /> <br />A Python Primer for ArcGIS® Workbook series combines fundamental Python programming structures to help professionals automate common geoprocessing functions. Thorough explanations of programming concepts are included along with user-friendly demonstrations that enable readers to develop programs on their own. In addition, chapters contain exercises and questions that aid in the application of each chapter’s highlighted principles. <br /> <br />Workbook III completes the Workbook series with focusing on creating custom Python script tools using a custom ArcToolbox as well as a custom Python script toolbox. Python Add-ins are discussed as another method to integrate Python to ArcGIS. Workbook III concludes by introducing the reader to script automation by setting up the Windows Task Scheduler. <br /> <br />Workbook I provides a practical introduction using Python for ArcGIS geoprocessing. Readers will learn some Python basics ending with writing a simple geoprocessing script. A Python Primer for ArcGIS® Workbook II contains coding strategies for common GIS tasks and processes. <br /><br />Workbook I can be ordered here: <br />https://www.createspace.com/5205001 <br /> <br />Workbook II continues where Workbook I (The Fundamentals) left off so the programmer can continue to build and expand his or her knowledge, skills, and abilities to develop code strategies for common GIS tasks and processes. <br /> <br />Workbook II can be ordered here: <br />https://www.createspace.com/5215222 <br /> <br /> <br />Follow for changes, updates, and new material: <br /> <br />Blog: http://education.urbandalespatial.com/ <br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/urbandalegis
