I included an introductory section anyway and found that it was quite helpful, so much so that it kept growing in detail and duration. Expanding it to a full day works well and allows for a more successful focus on ArcGIS Pro Python in the second workshop. As you'll see from the descriptions, attending the first workshop is a prerequisite requirement for attending the second workshop, unless I can be sure that you already have the required level of experience in Python. This requirement will ensure a better experience all round.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">If you're just interested in getting started with Python, the first workshop should be very helpful, covering all the basic information you need for developing clean and reusable code using one the best Interactive Development Environment (IDE) programs available, the free Community Edition of PyCharm. As I've said many times, especially in my Value of Coding for GIS presentations (for which details and slides are available at <a href="http://www.gispd.com/events">http://www.gispd.com/events</a>), coding offers you the opportunity to dramatically enhance the value of your investment in GIS software and Python skills are especially valuable, not only for making the most of ArcGIS Pro, but also for a wide range of other applications.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Please get in touch if you have any questions.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">David</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">David A.
