Python for ArcGIS Pro: Automate cartography and data analysis using ArcPy, ArcGIS API for Python, Notebooks, and pandas

"It is books like this one that will help expand the pool of geospatial innovators, expand geographic understanding, and help us all, as a global community, address the vital issues of the day through a geographic lens. As you read this book, I encourage you to think about how these new superpowers might help you leave our world just a little better off than it was when you found it."

Dr. Christopher Tucker, Chairman, American Geographical Society

"As professionals working in the spatial industry, its important to stay up to date with technology that can help us in our daily tasks. [] Python is that Swiss army knife in a developer's toolbox. It can parse data, analyze imagery, convert file types, upload/download, iterate, massage, and output various results. [] This book will walk you through the basics, as well as working with data, and even publishing it. This is the kind of book I wish I had when I was a wide-eyed technician, and I'm excited for what you can do it with today!"

Ren Rubalcava, SoftWhere Development Engineer, Esri

"The book is well organized and leads the reader through a gradual progression of more complex operations using Python in ArcGIS Pro. I also like that more advanced Python programmers can skip over the basics (which are there for the novice). The use of Notebooks inside ArcGIS Pro for the exercises has an added advantage of making your work portable to other Notebook instances. Showing the connectivity to ArcGIS Online from within ArcGIS Pro, managed through Python, is a fantastic advantage of the authors approach."

Chris North, Director, Technology Adoption, Esri Canada

"This book is a great resource for any student or GIS professional looking to expand their GIS skills. The authors do an amazing job introducing you to the technical intricacies of learning how to program with Python and ArcGIS. They include everything from the basics of Python syntax to using ArcPy and then introduce you to Pandas and the new ArcGIS API for Python for scripting against web GIS. There is nothing like this book available right now to learn Python for ArcGIS."

Dara O'Beirne, Geospatial Architect, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services

"As a geospatial analyst that relies on Python for accessing, creating, and analyzing geospatial data, this book is an inclusive resource regardless of your workflow or preferred software platform."

Bonny P. McClain, Spatial Data Analyst, Public Speaker, and Author of OReilly's Python for Geospatial Data Analysis

"Python is now an essential tool for many GIS practitioners to be successful with GIS. If you need to perform analysis, theres a Python library available for it. The book provides ways for the new as well as the experienced programmer to start engaging with these tools right away"
