Free Python for GIS Workshop!

I'm excited to announce that the Austin GIS User Group is presenting Slice of Py, a free Python for GIS Workshop!

What: This is a half-day beginner and advanced Python for GIS Workshop for both professionals and students. This workshop encompasses using the Jupyter Notebook Environment, ArcGIS Python API, and Amazon Web Services to help analyze and display your data. We will be working from the web browser.

When: Saturday, March 31, 2018, 8:30am - 11:30am

Where: Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), Building 205, Machine Room
 


Audience: Beginner programmers who have no or limited programming experience. We’ll set up your development environment on Saturdaymorning, then introduce you to Python and take breaks to practice concepts. We may break up into pairs when working on a short program filtering and cleaning data from a VERY large CSV file.

Our goal is to provide an environment in which beginners can develop their programming skills with confidence. You’ll leave with the resources you need to continue your programming education on your own and with your fellow students. More details can be found on the agenda
