Descriptions
Descriptions for all of the workshops can also be found at gispd.com/training. Please pay particular attention to any prerequisite requirements in the descriptions and below.
New Workshops
Introduction to JavaScript is a new workshop, which is a prerequisite requirement for the new Introduction to ArcGIS JavaScript Application Development workshop, which focuses solely on the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript (previously, the two topics were covered in one workshop).
Approach
The nature of these workshops is as much coaching as it is teaching, in that, rather than working through fixed exercises, attendees seem to prefer to follow along as I give explanations and demos and then spend time practicing what they've learned, helping each other out in the process. This allows for an engaging and flexible approach, with discussion and experimentation greatly enhancing the collective experience.
Things to Note
For all workshops, please read the associated details carefully and note the following:
- Prerequisite requirements
As explained in the descriptions:
- The Introduction to Python workshop is a prerequisite requirement for the Introduction to ArcGIS Data Management Using Python and Introduction to ArcGIS Pro Python Tools and Processes Development workshops;
- The Introduction to JavaScript workshop is a prerequisite requirement for the Introduction to ArcGIS JavaScript Application Development workshop;
- The Introduction to ArcGIS Arcade workshop is a prerequisite requirement for the Intermediate ArcGIS Arcade workshop;
- Please get in touch if you would like to discuss a waiver of any prerequisite requirements.
- Setup
- I'll send you setup instructions well before a workshop commences.
- You're welcome to register at any time before a workshop starts. If you have trouble registering at the last minute, please let me know and we'll work it out. Please bear in mind that it’s important that you’ve completed all setup requirements BEFORE a workshop begins.
Acknowledgements
I'm most grateful to Oregon URISA (ORURISA) and the Northwest GIS User Group for supporting the provision of these workshops and I highly encourage you to support these organizations by attending their conferences and becoming a member and an active participant.
