Mastering ArcPy using Python for ArcGIS for Desktop 10.x (ArcMap)

Call for Price

This three day course builds upon the concepts taught in the “Introduction to Geoprocessing Scripts using Python 10.x” course and will delve deeper into the ArcPy site package as well as introduce new ways to distribute your scripts.

The course uses a combination of lectures, demonstrations and code-alongs to show you how to use Python to work with the map document, the geodatabase and how Python scripts scan be used to publish to ArcGIS Online.

The course will contain a number of exercises for you to work through on the day. You will be provided with the data, demos, tools and exercises that the trainer uses to deliver the course so that you can work through them in your own time.

Note: This course is recommended for customers using V10.1 or newer. If you are using V10 you can still attend but not all of the course will be relevant.

Note: Attendees should have already attended the Getting Started with the Python Scripting Language course or have the equivalent knowledge of Python prior to attending this course.
Attendance of our Introduction to Geoprocessing Scripts using Python 10.x course would be advantageous but is not essential.
