Inputting Data (Module 6 of 9)

This resource, provided by the GeoTech Center, is the sixth of nine online modules in the Python and Geospatial Mapping course. 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.

This module is focuses on building geoprocessing tools within the ArcGIS Pro Toolbox using commands from arcpy, a geospatial Python command library included with ArcGIS Pro. The Toolbox serves as the primary way to access tools developed using Python scripts within the program. Covered topics include necessary arcpy commands, loading a Python script as a tool, and executing the script in ArcGIS Pro. The module includes one assignment accompanied by a brief video.

Other modules in the course are available to view separately.
