Training Course on Introduction Spatial analysis using Python with ArcGIS
INTRODUCTION
The course is focused on the initiation of participant in the use of Python programming language along with ArcGIS Desktop collection software on: process and tasks automation, vector and raster analysis, map generation and publication, geoprocessing model creation, etc.
The purpose of this course is to transmit to the participant information about creating and editing spatial data using Python programming language, a command line software application which can be directly applied when creating complex stand-alone Python scripts or Python script tools. Use Python to power up your GIS needs, automate your workflows and take advantages of all ArcGIS platform capabilities.
Who should apply?
Anyone who want to learn GIS, Spatial Analysis and Phython.
