Mastering Arcgis Pro

"Welcome to Mastering ArcGIS Pro, a detailed primer on learning the latest ArcGIS software by Esri®, Inc. This book is designed to offer everything you need to master the basic elements of GIS.

A new text for a new GIS experience Although the concepts of GIS have remained fairly constant over time, the software is continually evolving. With the release of ArcGIS Pro, the latest software in the Esri GIS family, a new generation of GIS has arrived. ArcGIS Pro has a 64-bit, multithreaded architecture, uses ribbon-style menus, integrates 2D and 3D applications, and is closely tied to ArcGIS Online. This text constitutes a major rewrite of Mastering ArcGIS, a book that covered GIS concepts and skills using the ArcGIS Desktop programs of ArcMap and ArcCatalog. Although the GIS concepts largely remain the same in both texts, the implementation, and in some cases the terminology, has changed. The new software has also prompted a reorganization of the book in several important ways. First, the book has been refocused on the basics of GIS. The ArcGIS Pro software capabilities are improving with each new version but have not yet completely matched the capabilities of ArcMap. Partly for this reason, and partly to better match the rhythm of a semester, the book is now presented in 12 chapters, leaving time for instructors to better incorporate exams and projects within the semester. Some of the more advanced and less frequently used skills, such as planar topology and standards-based metadata, have been left for students to explore on their own. Second, the book includes some new topics. Raster data management has been discussed in a new chapter to acquaint students with compiling and processing raster data sets, supplementing a similar chapter on vector data management. ArcGIS Pro was designed to foster the sharing of GIS data and workflows, and these enhanced capabilities are explored in another new chapter, including how to prepare a database for collecting data using mobile devices"--

Mastering ArcGIS Pro introduces the basic ideas behind GIS, teaching the concepts and skills needed to enter this rapidly evolving industry or use GIS in your current discipline. Based on the widely used ArcGIS software developed by Esri, Inc., this text integrates learning fundamental concepts with practicing software skills and is suitable for classroom use or for professionals studying independently

Learn how to confidently install, configure, secure, and fully utilize your ArcGIS Enterprise system. About This Book Install and configure the components of ArcGIS Enterprise to meet your organization's requirements Administer all aspects of ArcGIS Enterprise through user interfaces and APIs Optimize and Secure ArcGIS Enterprise to make it run efficiently and effectively Who This Book Is For This book will be geared toward senior GIS analysts, GIS managers, GIS administrators, DBAs, GIS architects, and GIS engineers that need to install, configure, and administer ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1. What You Will Learn Effectively install and configure ArcGIS Enterprise, including the Enterprise geodatabase, ArcGIS Server, and Portal for ArcGIS Incorporate different methodologies to manage and publish services Utilize the security methods available in ArcGIS Enterprise Use Python and Python libraries from Esri to automate administrative tasks Identify the common pitfalls and errors to get your system back up and running quickly from an outage In Detail ArcGIS Enterprise, the next evolution of the ArcGIS Server product line, is a full-featured mapping and analytics platform. It includes a powerful GIS web services server and a dedicated Web GIS infrastructure for organizing and sharing your work. You will learn how to first install ArcGIS Enterprise to then plan, design, and finally publish and consume GIS services. You will install and configure an Enterprise geodatabase and learn how to administer ArcGIS Server, Portal, and Data Store through user interfaces, the REST API, and Python scripts. This book starts off by explaining how ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1 is different from earlier versions of ArcGIS Server and covers the installation of all the components required for ArcGIS Enterprise. We then move on to geodatabase administration and content publication, where you will learn how to use ArcGIS Server Manager to view the server logs, stop and start services, publish services, define users and roles for security, and perform other administrative tasks. You will also learn how to apply security mechanisms on ArcGIS Enterprise and safely expose services to the public in a secure manner. Finally, you'll use the RESTful administrator API to automate server management tasks using the Python scripting language. You'll learn all the best practices and troubleshooting methods to streamline the management of all the interconnected parts of ArcGIS Enterprise. Style and approach The book takes a pragmatic approach, starting with installation & configuration of ArcGIS Enterprise to finally building a robust GIS web infrastructure for your organization.

Create 2D maps and 3D scenes, analyze GIS data, and share your results with the GIS community using the latest ArcGIS Pro 2 features Key FeaturesGet up to speed with the new ribbon-based user interface, projects, models, and common workflows in ArcGIS Pro 2Learn how to visualize, maintain, and analyze GIS dataAutomate analysis and processes with ModelBuilder and Python scriptsBook Description Armed with powerful tools to visualize, maintain, and analyze data, ArcGIS Pro 2 is Esri's newest desktop geographic information system (GIS) application that uses the modern ribbon interface and a 64-bit processor to make using GIS faster and more efficient. This second edition of Learning ArcGIS Pro will show you how you can use this powerful desktop GIS application to create maps, perform spatial analysis, and maintain data. The book begins by showing you how to install ArcGIS and listing the software and hardware prerequisites. You’ll then understand the concept of named user licensing and learn how to navigate the new ribbon interface to leverage the power of ArcGIS Pro for managing geospatial data. Once you’ve got to grips with the new interface, you’ll build your first GIS project and understand how to use the different project resources available. The book shows you how to create 2D and 3D maps by adding layers and setting and managing the symbology and labeling. You’ll also discover how to use the analysis tool to visualize geospatial data. In later chapters, you’ll be introduced to Arcade, the new lightweight expression language for ArcGIS, and then advance to creating complex labels using Arcade expressions. Finally, you'll use Python scripts to automate and standardize tasks and models in ArcGIS Pro. By the end of this ArcGIS Pro book, you’ll have developed the core skills needed for using ArcGIS Pro 2.x competently. What you will learnNavigate the user interface to create maps, perform analysis, and manage dataDisplay data based on discrete attribute values or range of valuesLabel features on a GIS map based on one or more attributes using ArcadeCreate map books using the map series functionalityShare ArcGIS Pro maps, projects, and data with other GIS community membersExplore the most used geoprocessing tools for performing spatial analysisCreate Tasks based on common workflows to standardize processesAutomate processes using ModelBuilder and Python scriptsWho this book is for If you want to learn ArcGIS Pro to create maps and, edit and analyze geospatial data, this ArcGIS book is for you.
