GIS Python Tutorial: Getting Started with ArcPy and VS Code

[@Chris-zi1we]

I just started as a GIS technician doing utilities mapping, but i'm hoping to work my way up towards a more analytical role in the future. Your channel has been so helpful for learning the more technical skills I need to move forward. Thank you so much for making this publicly available, you're amazing for that!!

Hello Brian, Thank you so much i followed your tutorial and it made so much sense after i tried doing a lab myself with Canadian earthquake data. i did lot of troubleshooting but you made python fun for me.

[@GIScienceRIT]

Thank you I'm glad that you found value in the tutorial appreciate you taking the time to write a comment. Happy learning and stay tuned for more videos!

[@zuric2008]

This is so helpful. I started learning with Python but really have come to like VS Code a lot more.

[@GIScienceRIT]

Fantastic I'm glad you found the video useful and yes definitely look more into VS code

can u please tell wher can i find the source files

[@faceclutch5555]

This is awesome! Thanks. I am going to try to automate some of the mapping queries I need to do at work. It's a repetitive work which requires looking at radius of review around an object (oil well) to gather data.

Ya this cool I've been doing the Python scripting books and this is a great complement

Awesome!

so i cannot install packages from github or other repositories? i need arcgis pro and the following paths from there be able to import arcpy in vs code?

[@GIScienceRIT]

Yes you need to have arcgis Pro installed on the machine to get at arcpy as per what the video shows

[@charaznable1114]

10:00, explains x,y coordinates.

[@GIScienceRIT]

This refers to the referencing of places on the surface of the Earth in a Cartesian grid

hello there!! should i have prior knowledge of python to follow your GIS and Python series ?

[@GIScienceRIT]

It might help to have some background knowledge but if you don't have any you should be able to follow the lawn well thanks for the interest

I do really want to say "thank you" to you.

hi Brian , I have tried to execute the classDeature parameter: from arcpy but it give me this error : File "", line 22, in File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.8\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 2025, in CreateFeatureclass raise e ExecuteError: ERROR 000622: Failed to execute (Create Feature Class). Parameters are not valid. ERROR 000628: Cannot set input into parameter spatial_reference. I am using the ArcGIS 10.8 not the pro does it matter ? , Thanks for help@Brain

[@GIScienceRIT]

Perhaps double check how you're setting up the projection file? If it can't find it using the external path to the prj file it might not work feel free to contact me directly the troubleshoot more
