Imagine if you could save hours of GIS work with a single script. In this one-on-one course, you’ll discover how to use ArcPy and Python to automate your geospatial workflows in ArcGIS Pro. You’ll receive personalized guidance as well as access to online modules and hands-on exercises that teach you, step by step, how to write your own smart GIS scripts.
WebGIS makes it possible to publish, share, and analyze geodata via the internet. With tools such as Geoserver and OpenLayers, you can build interactive maps that work directly in a web browser. Instead of working only locally, WebGIS offers a flexible and accessible way to make geographic information available to colleagues, customers, or partners.
ArcPy is a powerful Python library specifically designed for use within ArcGIS Pro. It allows you to easily automate recurring GIS tasks, such as data analysis, data management, or map production. Thanks to smart features like code completion and clear documentation, ArcPy is suitable for both novice and experienced users.
What makes ArcPy unique is that it is built on Python—a popular programming language used for both quick scripts and large-scale applications. This allows you to not only work within ArcGIS Pro but also develop flexible solutions for complex geospatial challenges outside that environment.
During this course, you’ll learn how to develop a fully functional WebGIS using Geoserver, OpenLayers, and ArcGIS Pro. You’ll discover how to publish geodata online and create interactive maps accessible via a browser. This allows you to give others direct access to spatial information without requiring specialized software.
Next, you’ll dive into the world of ArcPy—the powerful Python library for automating GIS processes. You’ll learn how to use simple scripts to speed up common tasks. Think, for example, of processing large datasets, performing spatial analyses, or automatically generating maps. This not only saves time but also prevents errors.
You’ll also gain insight into how ArcPy works within ArcGIS Pro, as well as how to use Python outside that platform for geospatial applications. You’ll build practical skills that you can immediately apply in your daily work.
Finally, you’ll learn how to publish map layers with Geoserver and how to visualize them with OpenLayers. This gives you all the tools you need to take your geoinformation projects to the next level—from data processing to web publishing.
Blended learning combines independent online learning with practical, interactive sessions, allowing you to gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience with WebGIS and automation via ArcPy. During this course, you’ll work on concrete applications that are directly relevant to anyone working with geodata. The online modules give you the flexibility to study at your own pace, while also ensuring depth and interaction.
You’ll gain access to clear instructions and exercises on publishing data, building web maps, and automating processes with Python. Among other things, you’ll learn how to use Geoserver and OpenLayers to set up a powerful and scalable WebGIS. At the same time, you’ll learn to automate GIS tasks within ArcGIS Pro using ArcPy, which makes your work faster and more efficient.
During the hands-on online sessions, you’ll immediately apply the knowledge you’ve gained. You’ll work with real geospatial datasets, which helps you understand the material better and apply it more quickly. In addition, you’ll receive guidance from experienced GIS trainers who will walk you through realistic scenarios step by step. This way, you’ll learn how to publish map layers correctly, how to write scripts for data analysis, and how to set up error-free workflows that you can later expand on your own.
The combination of flexible online learning and hands-on training ensures that you not only learn how to work with WebGIS and ArcPy, but also how to use them effectively for professional GIS projects. Upon completing the course, you’ll be able to independently build web-based maps, publish geodata, and automate processes with Python. This will enable you to make better decisions, save time, and work more professionally within any GIS-related field.
