SUMMARY:Introduction to Python
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\nPython is now regarded as one of the most popular programming languages of all\, if not the most popular. This is especially true for GIS-related requirements\, with Python being front and center when it comes to making the most of the ArcGIS technology suite. This workshop will provide an introduction to Python programming without reference to GIS topics\, but with an emphasis on preparing attendees for&nbsp\;further learning with respect to GIS scripting and development. The workshop will also be helpful for&nbsp\;anyone wishing to use Python for other purposes.\nThree topics will be covered in the workshop: (1) Getting started with Python\; (2) Use of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) (attendees may use either JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition or Microsoft Visual Studio Code (both free))\; and (3) Python fundamentals\, including functions and objects\, and error handling.\nIntended Audience\nAnyone wishing to learn the fundamentals of Python programming.\nPrerequisite Requirements\nThere are no prerequisite requirements. It will be assumed that attendees have little experience with Python or are starting from scratch.\nFormat and Technical Requirements\n\nThe workshop will consist of a balance between lecture material and demonstrations\, forming the basis for a flexible and interactive training approach. There will be plenty of time for discussion and experimentation\, which will result in a rich and rewarding experience for everyone involved.\nAttendees must bring their own laptop.\n\nSetup\nSetup steps will be provided and must be completed prior to the workshop and attendees will be contacted to ensure that the required software is installed and that they can save workshop files onto their machine.&nbsp\;Attendees are asked\, therefore\, to make sure they can be reached via the email address and phone number they used to register for the workshop.
