Spring 2021 is in the can and it was a mostly successful fully remote asynchronous semester; kudos to all those involved. Here are their feedback and some responses and updates for Fall 2021.
Happy Groundhog’s Day. Yay! More winter. Here’s the low-down on Client Meeting progress reports on the reproducibility of published geoprocesses. This will be updated each semester, so check back to see how it’s going.
Fall 2020 was like no other. My appreciation goes to all my students who muddled through yet another trying semester. Here’s their feedback and what I plan to do about it next term.
In the past year, ArcGIS Notebooks became a part of ArcGIS Online. This cloud environment gives us the features of AGOL combined with the power of arcpy - the Python interface to ArcGIS Pro’s geoprocessing and analysis. So long Windows only troubles and hello platform independent programming. Post includes Python lexicon.
Why do we care about web GIS and what is it anyways?
Here, I try to provide some resources to help guide you on discovering the world of geoethics and how it likely relates to the work you are doing.
Sometimes creativity and expression need a new medium. A new section has been added for web tutorials.
A place to keep track of utility scripts as they are created.
It’s summer session and we’re off to the races. Now, what’s the deal with markdown, markup and all this talk about plain text?
It has been a roller coaster of a semester, but there are some amazingly excellent work to be shown for it. Well done everyone.
More stabs at Esri’s developers API for creating a geofencing application. Updated with a semi-working example.
Taking the first steps into the world of Arcade/Javascript API via ArcGIS for Developers.
A look at designing web maps for field applications, including bespoke feature classes, domains, and file geodatabases.
Open source GIS for the win! Kind of.
Working on a utility script during the COVID-19 crisis.
A student consulting team pieces together developing an arcpy toolbox that calculates landslide susceptibility.
Figuring out how to write a Python toolbox in ArcGIS Pro.
In the real world it seems that well over 80% of your GIS work is dealing with data. It’s only a minor setback; honestly.
This week, we take a look at how far we’ve gotten towards modeling our landslide susceptibility.
Sometimes you realize that starting simple isn’t actually a bad thing and that ambition can get the better of you. As long as we got each other… growing pains!
Things get tricky without Python installed on the classroom computers; ArcGIS Pro to the rescue! Finally solve the Rubik’s cube that is Jekyll only in time to abandon it completely.
A first draft of working on a ArcGIS Python toolbox (and all the setbacks that entails). I take a small step forward working with Jekyll.
The failed attempts of using Jekyll as a simple blogging site begins. What have I gotten myself into?
