Python Crash Course

What is Python?

Python is a high-level scripting programming language often used for data analysis, among numerous other applications. In ArcGIS Pro, Python is used to define many of the tools in the background, and can also be utilized by the user to automate part or all of a data analysis project in ArcGIS Pro.  This automation is done by writing Python scripts, which are instructions written by the programmer for Python to carry out. 

Setting Up a Python Script in ArcGIS Pro

The easiest (and most convenient) way to write Python scripts in ArcGIS Pro is to use notebooks in ArcGIS Pro. We will first set up a notebook in ArcGIS Pro to go over some Python basics, and learn more about notebooks later on.
