Integrating Python into your day-to-day ArcGIS work is highly recommended when dealing with large amounts of geospatial data. Python for ArcGIS Pro aims to help you get your work done faster, with greater repeatability and higher confidence in your results.

Starting from programming basics and building in complexity, two experienced ArcGIS professionals-turned-Python programmers teach you how to incorporate scripting at each step: automating the production of maps for print, managing data between ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online, creating custom script tools for sharing, and then running data analysis and visualization on top of the ArcGIS geospatial library, all using Python.

You'll use ArcGIS Pro Notebooks to explore and analyze geospatial data, and write data engineering scripts to manage ongoing data processing and data transfers. This exercise-based book also includes three rich real-world case studies, giving you an opportunity to apply and extend the concepts you studied earlier.

Irrespective of your expertise level with Esri software or the Python language, you'll benefit from this book's hands-on approach, which takes you through the major uses of Python for ArcGIS Pro to boost your ArcGIS productivity.

I have been in the field of GIS for 15 years and using ArcGIS products for just as long. I have been building custom ArcGIS applications for the desktop and browsers for 10 years. I am currently a software engineer at Esri working on the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, and before that worked in local government and freelance work. I keep current on almost all mapping technologies, from web based mapping tools to desktop data creation tools. I am also a huge fan of functional languages such as Haskell, Elm and PureScript. I have experience in.NET using C#. Python, and some C++. I know web technology, such as CSS, HTML5, plenty of JavaScript, multiple JavaScript frameworks, libraries and Node.
