A Python Primer for ArcGIS Workbook II (2 of 3)

The automation of geoprocessing tasks is a common practice among GIS professionals. Python is the standard programming language for ArcGIS and other fields such as remote sensing, GPS, spatial modeling, and statistical analysis.

A Python Primer for ArcGIS Workbook series combines fundamental Python programming structures to help professionals automate common geoprocessing functions. Thorough explanations of programming concepts are included along with user-friendly demonstrations that enable readers to develop programs on their own. In addition, chapters contain exercises and questions that aid in the application of each chapter€s highlighted principles.

Workbook II continues where Workbook I (The Fundamentals) left off so the programmer can continue to build and expand his or her knowledge, skills, and abilities to develop code strategies for common GIS tasks and processes.
