Our Verdict
While this course offers an engaging and thorough introduction to Python basics for GIS professionals seeking a foundation in the language and its use within ESRI's ArcGIS platform, learners should be aware of slight discrepancies between provided exercise files and instructor examples along with some limitations in quizzes. Additionally, although centered around Python 2.X, students may need to adjust their expectations when transitioning to Python 3.X environments in other applications like ArcGIS Pro.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of Python basics, especially tailored for ArcGIS users with little prior experience
- Instructor explains concepts clearly and provides additional insights beyond the slide content
- Lessons include animations, effects, and real-time code explanations to emphasize key information
- Valuable Q&A section addressing all questions posted, providing further resources for learning
Potential Drawbacks
- Some inconsistencies found between provided exercise files and instructor's on-screen examples
- Limited coding exercises in the multiple-choice format quizzes
- No downloadable reference document with common ArcPy commands provided
- Course focuses on Python 2.X, which may not align with newer ArcGIS Pro or other applications using Python 3.X
