This is going to be a very hands-on workshop using Esri's ArcGIS Pro. To successfully complete the workshop, you should be able to do the following
Organize and locate files on your compute
Download and save files from the Internet to your computer (.zip files)
Download and install Esri's ArcGIS Pro software.
Description
As you probably know, Esri is moving their users to the latest software, ArcGIS Pro. Perhaps you are a little hesitant in making that leap. Or, maybe you want to learn how to use different approaches to solve a GIS problem including the GUI, Model Builder, Python scripting, or a 3rd party extension that uses SQL. Or, maybe you want to be able to articulate the strengths and limitations of the different Esri approaches. Whether you are moving to the new Esri platform, of just trying to gain the necessary skills to land that next job in your career, this course will help you get there.In this course, we are going to explore 4 different ways to solve a GIS problem using Esri software: the ArcGIS Pro graphical user interface (GUI), Model Builder, Python Scripting with Arcpy, and spatial SQL with SQL for ArcGIS Pro. As a bonus, I'm also going to introduce you to some of the cloud based solutions that Esri has available.As our base scenario, we are going to perform a GIS analysis to evaluate access to COVID-19 vaccination sites for different ethnic populations in the State of Maryland. Believe it or not, the simple question of what percentage of the population is within a specified distance of a vaccination center is trickier than you'd think, requiring a number of steps to complete.Fortunately, the tools in Esri's ArcGIS Pro allow us to accomplish this task in many different ways. So, you'll not only learn how to use the different approaches, you'll also have a good understanding of the differences among the solutions. It's one thing to be introduced to the different options, and being able to parrot back the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. But, it's another thing to have the actual hands on experience in doing it. As you follow along with me, using the data I provide you, you'll be able to say I have actually used these tools in ArcGIS Pro, and from experience can tell you the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. In the videos, we'll also discuss the appropriateness of each tool, given the particular problem you may be facing.
