GIS and Python programming

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become central to how we collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data. From tracking deforestation to managing infrastructure, GIS helps professionals identify patterns and relationships that influence real-world decisions. At the core of many of these systems is ArcGIS, a powerful platform developed by Esri that enables users to work with geodata at scale.

But GIS is more than mapping. To solve increasingly complex problems, automation and customization are key—and that’s where Python makes the difference. As the scripting language of ArcGIS, Python allows you to build efficient workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and create your own GIS tools. Through ArcPy—Esri’s Python library—you gain access to a wide range of geoprocessing capabilities right from your script.

At Geo-ICT, we’ve designed this course to teach you how to integrate Python into your GIS work. You’ll learn to manage geodata programmatically, write powerful scripts, and build your own tools that make your work more efficient, accurate, and adaptable. This is your entry into smarter, faster GIS.

What will you learn

You’ll begin with core Python programming concepts like variables, loops, and conditional logic, and see how they apply to spatial tasks. Then, you’ll get hands-on with ArcPy, using it to automate map operations, run analyses, and manage datasets within ArcGIS.

You’ll learn how to write scripts that handle geospatial data—selecting features, buffering objects, clipping datasets, and exporting results. You’ll explore essential Python data structures like lists, tuples, and dictionaries, and apply them in your geospatial analyses.

As your skills grow, you’ll begin building your own tools using object-oriented programming. You’ll develop Python-based GIS applications that fit your specific needs or those of your organization. Through hands-on projects, you’ll gain practical experience solving realistic geospatial problems. Whether you’re automating map production or building custom spatial analysis tools, this course gives you the skills to go beyond the basics and build smarter GIS solutions.

    Course structure

    Day 1

    You’ll start with the fundamentals of Python and its use in ArcGIS. Topics include control flow, loops, and key data structures like lists and dictionaries. You’ll explore how these are used in spatial tasks such as processing layers, features, and tables.

    Day 2

    On the second day, you’ll begin applying Python in ArcGIS using ArcPy. Through guided exercises, you’ll automate common tasks, manipulate geospatial data, and begin developing your own simple GIS tool or script-based application.

    Day 3

    The final day focuses on applying object-oriented programming principles and building modular, reusable code. You’ll continue developing your tool or application with support from the instructor and finish the course with a working prototype and a clear path forward for future development.
