For more experienced Python users, Advanced Python Scripting for ArcGIS Pro explores the development of more sophisticated scripts, including custom functions, classes, and Python toolboxes. Readers will learn to integrate third-party packages and manage Python environments, covering advanced topics such as migrating from Python 2 to 3, NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib, and using Python notebooks.
Both books are authored by Dr. Paul A. Zandbergen, a professor at Vancouver Island University. Dr. Zandbergen has published extensively in the field of GIS and has been involved in research funded by notable organizations such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. He is also the author of the previous editions of these books.
