Esri Canada Webinars
Tooling Up to be an ArcGIS Developer
May 9, 1 – 2 pm (ET)
If you “Live by the Code,” this webinar is for you! We’ll cover two of the most popular languages to automate and extend the ArcGIS platform: Python and JavaScript. We’ll dive into Visual Studio Code, a wildly popular and free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and show you how to be immediately productive with ArcPy, the ArcGIS API for Python and the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. You’ll discover where to get productivity tools, code samples and documentation, and how to debug code.
Optimizing Your Open Data with ArcGIS Hub (in French)
May 16, 1 – 2 pm (ET)
The ability to publish data is a hot topic within the GIS community. Being able to share data that can be viewed or used by your community is a convenient, easy and transparent solution for your organization, your partners and your community. In this webinar, attendees will learn how to create websites to share their open data using ArcGIS Hub, with results that can be used in conjunction with Données Québec.
Effectively manage your e-permitting process with ArcGIS and Cityworks PLL
May 23, 1 – 2 pm (ET)
Cityworks PLL – permits, licensing and land – gives agencies direct control of their business processes. Designed to simplify applications for customers and streamline workflows for staff, Cityworks PLL helps local governments and utilities deliver better service to their communities. This webinar will provide an overview of a typical building permit lifecycle from online application submission using a public portal, to processing inspections using the Cityworks mobile application in the field and the release of the occupancy certificate to the applicant.
Taking the Fear Out of Change: Immediate Benefits of Switching to ArcGIS Pro
June 20, 1 – 2 pm (ET)
Great things never come from comfort zones. With ArcGIS Pro, day-to-day tasks suddenly become faster, outputs become prettier and new opportunities become available. In this session, we’ll share migration tips for making an easy transition from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. Attendees will hear an honest perspective on differences between the two applications and all that can be accomplished once you have migrated. We want to make you feel comfortable with the software and show you new functionality, including how to do customization, visualizing in 3D and seamlessly interacting with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. We know a transition like this is intimidating, but we’re here to help and we’re excited to show you how much you’ll gain by moving to ArcGIS Pro.
