Topics Include:
Fundamentals of the Python Language for ArcGIS; Writing Basic Geoprocessing Scripts with ArcPy; Managing Map Documents and Layers; Finding and Fixing Broken Data Links; Automating Map Production and Printing; Executing Geoprocessing Tools from Scripts; Creating Custom Geoprocessing Tools; Querying and Selecting Data; Using the Arcpy Data Access Module to Select, Insert, and Update Geographic Data and Tables; Listing and Describing GIS Data; Customizing the ArcGIS Interface with Add-Ins; Error Handling and Troubleshooting; Automating Python Scripts; 5 Things Every GIS Programmer Should Know How to Do with Python.
