Unlock the power of Python in ArcGIS Pro with this definitive, easy-to-follow guide designed for users with limited programming or scripting experience. Get started learning to write Python scripts to automate tasks in ArcGIS Pro with Python Scripting for ArcGIS Pro. This book begins with the fundamentals of Python programming and then dives into how to write useful Python scripts that work with spatial data in ArcGIS Pro. You'll learn how to use geoprocessing tools; describe, create, and update data; and execute specialized tasks. With step-by-step instructions, practical examples, and insightful guidance, you'll be able to write scripts that will automate and improve your ArcGIS Pro workflows. This third edition has been revised for ArcGIS Pro 3.2 and Python 3.9.18 and includes updated images; a fully updated chapter 2; and expanded chapters 4, 8, 9, and 10. For those new to Python scripting, welcome to a whole new world! Programming has become an increasingly important aspect of the skill set of GIS professionals in many fields. Most GIS jobs require at least some experience in programming, and Python is often at the top of the list. If you are looking to jump-start your GIS programming skills, this book is for you. Python scripting allows you to automate tasks in ArcGIS Pro that would be cumbersome using the regular menu-driven interface. For example, consider having to convert 1,000 shapefiles into feature classes in a geodatabase. You could run the appropriate tool 1,000 times to complete the task, but surely there must be a more efficient and robust way to do it.
