Python is a vital skill for any ArcGIS professional interested in furthering their automation and analysis tasks. Python allows users to create custom data management or analysis tools ranging from single functions to complex multi-function processes with validation, which can be easily reused, shared, and even executed with little to no user interaction. This workshop includes a quick introduction to the Python scripting language and shows how it can be used to access ArcPy for automation of GeoProcessing tasks and map production.
Intended Audience:
- New to Python scripting and ArcPy
- Comfortable using ArcGIS geoprocessing tools, but want to become more efficient (make the software work for you)
- Moving to Python from other scripting language
- Interested in what's new in ArcGIS 10

At some point in time, when faced with a new task or project, all GIS users find themselves asking "How do I do this? How do I create a new map? How do I build a geodatabase? How do I set up editing, or perform analysis, or share maps and data with others? What workflow should I follow?" There are literally hundreds of GIS workflows; however there are several key workflows that are common to every GIS user. In this workshop, we will describe five of the most common workflows: building your geodatabase, setting up editing, performing analysis, creating maps, and working with online content. Participants will then have exercises for each of these workflows.
ArcPad for Mobile GIS
Date/Time: Monday, April 16, 1 PM - 5 PM
Cost: $70
Format: Hands-on lab, laptops will be provided and maximum enrollment is 24 participants (two per laptop).
Instructor: Jackson Beighle, GPS-GIS Sales Specialist

This half-day workshop will focus on taking GIS from the office tot he field using Trimble handhelds and ESRI software. The workshop will focus on ArcPad and using the ArcPad Data Manager Extension to manage the flow of GIS data to and from the field. Participants will learn about personal geodatabase domains and how they benefit the ArcPad user. The workshop will feature technologies from leading manufacturers such as Laser Technologies, Juniper Systems, and Ricoh. This workshop will include a short field session.
Working with ArcGIS Online

This will be a hands-on workshop where you will learn how you can create communities, share and discover geospatial information, and make easy-to-use intelligent web maps and web mapping applications using ArcGIS Online. Participants will learn skills on how to:
- Upload CSV, shapefile, and KML data sources into ArcGIS Online and publish them in an online map.
- Mash up ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online hosted services, WMS services, and KML services into intelligent maps and applications that offer great performance, excellent cartography, and interactive query and reporting capability.
- Embed your maps into your own personal or organizations website.
- Create web mapping applications hosted by ArcGIS Online.
- Deploy maps to mobile devices.

Would you like to get your GIS data out on the internet but you don't have the resources to hire someone and/or your programming skills are a bit rusty (or maybe non-existent)? Flex Apps are the thing for you! In this 4-hour workshop, we'll look at some existing web apps that will inspire you and get you thinking about what you might be able to do with your own data. We will spend time running through the process and provide discussion and scenarios to post your data. We'll spend the last hour of the workshop covering some basic - and some apparently little known - cartography concepts so that you communicate as effectively as possible in cyberland. We'll do our best to help you walk out of this workshop feeling inspired, energized, and ready to put out an eye-catching application.
Understanding ESRI Model Builder
Date/Time: Tuesday, April 17, 8 AM - Noon
Cost: $70
Format: Hands-on lab, laptops will be provided and maximum enrollment is 24 participants (one per laptop).
Instructors: Kyle Balke, GIS Analyst

Model Builder is an easy to use application built in to ArcGIS that allows a user to link together a sequence of geoprocessing tools, where the output of one tool can be used as the input to another. It can be "thought of as a visual programming language for building workflows." This hands-on session will introduce the user to the world of model building as well as several intermediate and advanced techniques. Topics will include basic model elements and workflow, model parameters, running a model, filters, model only tools, iterators, in-line variable substitution, and preconditions. This session will be valuable to both the newbie and casual model builder user.
