Preface

Welcome to GIS Tutorial for Pro 2.8. This fourth-edition step-by-step workbook focuses on ArcGIS Pro but also covers Online and some of its major apps for mobile computing, including Dashboards, and Collector.

ArcGIS Pro is Esris powerful single desktop GIS application, 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 daily. You create tasks to guide complex workflows and 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 software as a service (SaaS) for making, using, analyzing, and sharing maps. Using this service, you can connect people, locations, and data using interactive maps. You can easily publish maps authored in ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online and integrate them with maps from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, available in ArcGIS Online. Living Atlas, curated by Esri, is the worlds foremost collection of ready-to-use maps. With your finished maps stored in ArcGIS Online, you can easily share them in ArcGIS Online apps.

The StoryMaps app allows you to incorporate text, charts, and other content with interactive maps to tell a story or make a report on a GIS project. Dashboards 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 updated in more than 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 the following examples:
