Course Description

Increase your GIS salary by 50% average.

Welcome everyone! This course teaches the essentials of the Python programming language to utilize arcpy, the  Python package for the leading GIS software, ArcGIS - ESRI. It is the first Udemy course about Python for arcpy. and it is very affordable compared to other similar training courses ranging from $1,000 - $2,000. If you work in the GIS business world or even your job has some GIS involved, I advice you to go ahead and take this course. It will help you promote in your job and increase your income.

GIS is the most integrated field with many business and work disciplines such as IT, engineering, marketing, and planning. ArcGIS is the most used GIS software in the world. To become a stronger GIS professinal and to increase your salary in the GIS business world by 50% average, you need to learn how to program. Python is one of the most spreading programming languages in the IT world. ArcGIS's arcpy package is dependent on Python. The arcpy package can save you a lot of repeated tasks involved in geospatial data administration and analysis.

In this course, I don't assume that you are very familiar with Python. I will start from level zero and teach you what you need from Python in order to utilize arcpy easily. There is a quiz associated with each lecture so you can test yourself. You will learn how to access MXDs and their layers programmatically and also run geospatial analysis tools without opening ArcMap. I am explaining a lot of details in both Python and arcpy so you can really understand and master the concepts in practice.

Again welcome everyone and I hope you register and learn.

The course begins with one of the best introductions to python programming that I have seen. It is especially targeted to help ArcGIS users with little previous experience in Python. The lessons on arcpy at the end of the course include explanations, examples, and tours of the documentation that make it easy to extend your knowledge to the needs of your own programming. The instructor frequently uses presentation slides, but he rarely reads directly from the slides as other instructors do, and instead he often provides useful information in addition to what is written. The videos include animations and effects to highlight key information. There are also video segments where the instructor tests out actual Python code, explaining what is going on along the way. After every lesson there is a quiz. The questions test your understanding of practical concepts that you need to know in order to use Python and arcpy correctly. Some other reviews complain that the quizzes don't include actual coding exercises, but this exceeds my expectations given the limitation to the multiple choice format provided. The Q&A section has a wealth of additional knowledge. The instructor addresses every question posted, often providing links to additional resources. Even if you don't have any questions yourself, it is definitely worth reading the other questions and learning from the responses. As a note to future students, the instruction focuses on Python 2.X syntax, which is used by ArcGIS Desktop, and is therefore the correct choice for this course. The newer ArcGIS Pro and other applications tend to use Python 3.X, which will have some syntax changes. I am looking forward to the advanced course on arcpy.
