Section III uses the topic of algorithms to guide the student through creating tools to add functionality to ArcGIS Pro. This section focuses on data structures, and how they are used and implemented within Python. Section II introduces the ArcPy module and elements specific to ArcGIS Pro. Section I starts with the principles of scripting and programming with Python. In addition to its unique format, the book covers oft-neglected topics such as debugging, creating a program from scratch, and managing metadata.
Each chapter concludes with an unguided task that ensures students have learned the broader principles explained therein. In doing so, this book combines the strengths of workbooks and theoretical textbooks to provide a holistic and comprehensive text. Each of the book’s twenty-one chapters integrates instructional material with exercises in ArcGIS Pro. This upper-undergraduate textbook teaches students programming in GIS using a mix of computer science theory and hands-on activities, with the aim of empowering students to understand fundamentals and apply their knowledge beyond the specific examples in the book.
