Preface
Welcome to GIS Tutorial 1 for ArcGIS Pro. This step-by-step workbook focuses on ArcGIS Pro but also covers ArcGIS OnlineSM and some of its major apps for mobile computing, including Esri Story Maps, Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS, and Collector for ArcGIS.
ArcGIS Pro is Esris next-generation, 64-bit desktop software with an intuitive user interface for creating, using, and analyzing professional 2D and 3D maps. ArcGIS Pros tasks, ModelBuilder models, and apps also allow you to build operational systems that help organizations use GIS on a daily basis. You create tasks to guide complex workflows, and you build models to automate multiple geoprocessing steps, all without computer coding. The apps provide GIS results and capabilities to all who need them.
ArcGIS Online is a complete cloud-based mapping platform for making, using, analyzing, and sharing maps. You can easily publish maps authored in ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online and integrate them with maps from Esris Living Atlas of the World, available in ArcGIS Online. The Living Atlas, curated by Esri, is the worlds foremost collection of ready-to-use maps. With your finished maps stored in ArcGIS Online, they are easily shared in ArcGIS Online apps.
Esri Story Map apps allow you to incorporate text, charts, and other content with interactive maps to tell a story or to make a report on a GIS project. Want to see the story map that youll build in in your browser on your computer, tablet, or smartphone (look for an information button on your tablet or smartphone to see nonmap content). Operations Dashboard monitors an organizations demands for services and performance with maps, statistics, charts, lists, and queries. Collector allows for collecting and updating spatial and attribute data in the field using mobile computing devices.
This book is a complete learning system for GIS, including features we have evolved in more than 25 years of teaching GIS using Esri products and writing tutorials. Our books are used successfully by students in classes as well as by self-learners. Weve taught high school students, in-career professionals, undergraduate students, masters students, PhD students, and distance-learning students across many disciplines. We teach using a combination of lectures and lab sessions, and we always include student-designed GIS projects as a final requirement in our courses. Our interactions with students are important sources of ideas and feedback for our books.
This book includes wide-ranging real-world data and GIS applications that require integration of different GIS processing steps and workflows to solve realistic problems. This book addresses many topical issues, including these examples:
- Accessing urgent-care health clinics by low-income populations
- Finding employment prospects in arts fields across US cities, including the size of arts communities, average incomes, and cost of living
