Python and Geospatial Technology, Assignment 3.1 (Module 3 of 9)

This video assignment, provided by the GeoTech Center, is the first assignment from module three of the Python and Geospatial Mapping course, titled Python and Geospatial Technology. The course is designed for experienced users of Global Information Systems (GIS) platforms who are new to programming, with the goal of teaching them how to use Python to automate processes through the construction of short scripts in ArcGIS Pro.

In this assignment, learners work with two geospatial commands from the arcpy module of ArcGIS Pro: buffer and clip. The buffer command creates a radius around a particular point on a map, while the clip command extracts and saves the features within the radius into a new file. Learners must use both of these commands in a single program.

The video runs 0:59 minutes in length. Additional resources from the Python and Geospatial Mapping course are available to view separately.
