Introduction Presenter: James Zollweg, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Water Resources and GIS The College at Brockport NYS GIS Association Python Training, Session 1 July 11, 2012 Slide 2 Why a Python Seminar? 1. Python is an increasingly important part of ArcGIS mapping and geoprocessing 2. Python 'scripting' is a powerful tool for modeling and process automation NYS GIS Association Python Training, Session 1 July 11, 2012 Slide 3 Another reason 1. Build a greater sense of community among GIS professionals in NYS via shared professional development NYS GIS Association Python Training, Session 1 July 11, 2012 Slide 4 Motivational Examples 1. Watershed simulation model perform a series of raster calculations for each day of a 20 year model run 2. Fire Department box book automatically generate a map set of approximately 100 pages: each with different extent, title, locator map NYS GIS Association Python Training, Session 1 July 11, 2012 Slide 5 Slide 6 Need to know 1. The elements of Python a general purpose programming language 2. ArcPy - provides Python access for all geoprocessing tools, as well as a wide variety of useful functions and classes for working with and interrogating GIS data. 3. Proficiency in ArcGIS mapping and geoprocessing NYS GIS Association Python Training, Session 1 July 11, 2012 Slide 7 Python Python is a free, cross-platform, open-source programming language that is both powerful and easy to learn. It is widely used and supported.
