Python underpins many functions in the ArcGIS System, especially in the Desktop product suite (ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro) where it is used to automate geoprocessing tasks, publish and create services within your portal and manage the ArcMap map document or the ArcGIS Pro Project.

This virtual training course will teach you the underlying Python scripting language and will provide you with a solid foundation to writing Python scripts. On completing this course you will have the necessary background skills to undertake the relevant Python courses for ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro and administering your portal using Python.

Please be aware that this course contains no instruction on how to perform geoprocessing using ArcPy or the ArcGIS API for Python.
