Learning Python with GIS: A Lecture for the Absolute Beginner: Part 1 of 5 ( ArcGIS Pro Python Tour)

This video is part 1 of a 5 video series that teaches basic computer programming concepts using the Python computer programming language. This video teaches basic computer programming concepts using only the ArcGIS Pro Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software environment. If you are interested in GIS and learning how to get started with computer programming, this video series will help you grow your skill set.
The five videos discuss the following topics:
Video 1 (this video): Video Overview, Scope of computer programming concepts discussed in the five part video series (Variables, Lists, Conditional Statements, Definitions, Looping, and Modules ) What is Python, A Tour of Python in ArcGIS Pro (ArcGIS Pro ships with Python IDLE, Python window, Export Model Scripts, Field Calculator, Label Class, Notebooks in ArcGIS Pro (v2.5) (Jupyter Notebooks), Python Manager, ArcPy)

Brian, this is a fantastic tutorial and an excellent starting point for my project. Thank you so much for making this available to the public. Also, I have cited GIS for Disaster Management in a discussion post!

[@GIScienceRIT]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the feedback and I'm glad that you found the videos useful, check out other videos on the channel but you may also find helpful for your projects and learning. Thanks again.

[@Lamo_o_o]

Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for! I've been wanting to enhance my GIS work with some coding know how

[@GIScienceRIT]

Glad it was helpful

[@emanelhelw675]

The tutorial is very useful for me, thank you very much

[@GIScienceRIT]

Thank you, be sure to check out other videos on the channel to grow your gis and python skills!

[@bhanupriyachauhan7408]

Thank you so much for posting this. This is exactly what I needed.

[@Dasologos]

I have no words. Its great video exactly what i wanted 😊

[@GIScienceRIT]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the feedback and be sure to check out other videos on the channel thank you again and happy learning!

[@mcbrogan1]

Wonderful share, friend. Marvelous 👏

[@GIScienceRIT]

Thank you! Cheers!

Wonderful! Thank you for your interest and welcome to the channel 😀

I was wondering if you go into detail about using the Field Calculator in any of your videos? By "going intovdetail", I mean a thorough explanation of how to use it for begginer, intermediate, and advanced Python Scripting. I haven't check any other videos. The reason I ask this is because 1) there isn't much really in depth explanations that I have found, and 2) I'm a GIS Technician I and I use Field calculations often.

[@GIScienceRIT]

I don't have a specific video with that content but thank you for the feedback I can definitely put one of those together

[@jvdaele]

Ryan, did you find a good video or course on Python for Calculate Field? I as well am most interested in learning Python to be able to write simple Calculate Field scripts in model builder in Pro.

[@1955BelAir]

hi I'm 20 years old, and starting my first year of college in September, "GIS and urban planning" I'm a bit nervous having to learn coding, do you NEED to learn coding to get a high paying GIS job? and if so, is it just basic coding I will need or will I need to know advanced coding?

[@GIScienceRIT]

I always recommend to students that they have some knowledge of even basic coding, the more you know the better as it is a specialized skill that will make you stand out from the rest of the crowd when looking for a job. If you haven't seen it already check out this video on the channel

Who to drown building polycon in this section

[@BytesPH]

Hello , I have ArcGIS only . is it still applicable ?

[@GIScienceRIT]

Hello, some of the ideas are relevant to the arcmap software, so just look for the comparable tool in arcmap as opposed to arcgis Pro like the python window has one starting point

[@DataJuggler]

Do you have an experienced programmers version of this? I need the GIS part, not the 'What is programming'. Thanks

[@GIScienceRIT]

Thanks for the feedback No not yet but this is something I'll definitely keep in mind

[@DataJuggler]

@@GIScienceRIT Thanks

[@huiyuxiao4212]

May I ask why the python ship with arcgis pro is v2.7 ? should not be the V 3.x ??

[@GIScienceRIT]

I think it just all depends on what version of arcgis you're using, take a look at this for some insight

@@GIScienceRIT I installed the arcgis pro 2.5, and I have checked the version of the python is 3.7.10,but I can not find it at the ‘windows start’. there is only the idle 2.7 which is installed with the arcmap 10.2,so how to make the idle3.7.10 shown at the windows start like the idle 2.7?

[@GIScienceRIT]

You made me to look where arcgis pro has the default python environment, this link should give you a starting point

Do you have a video/ recs on how to modify a python script that has been exported from a model? Thnx!

[@GIScienceRIT]

Hello, please see this new video I just published on exactly this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnrJhGOplt2jn5o

[@tahminaakter4157]

Can't i use ArcGis 10.3 instead of Arcgis Pro??

[@GIScienceRIT]

Yes you can find some of the similar Tools in arcgis 10.3, just look for the comprable tool all based on what you see in the video, however arcgis Pro is the future so that's why I used that software thanks your comment

[@tahminaakter4157]

@@GIScienceRIT Oow. Thank you!

[@darellarocho5729]

These work with ArcMap, too, right?

[@GIScienceRIT]

I think you should be able to find some similarities between arcmap and arcgis Pro

[@darellarocho5729]

@@GIScienceRIT Interesting. And another question, is it possible to create a Python program that creates a slope map?
