*Workshop #1, Interoperable Web GIS Solutions with Free & Open Source
Geospatial Software*

Monday and Tuesday, October 17-18

Description: Interoperable Web GIS Solutions built on Free and Open Source
Geospatial software (FOSS4G) offer very effective means of delivering
reliable, modern, standard compliant and flexible solutions. They can be
used as stand-alone applications or in conjunction with proprietary
systems. Especially over the last years FOSS4G have become a viable
alternative to proprietary software, and implementing GIS with FOSS helps
to meet budget challenges. The class will introduce three open source
software components as the building blocks that make up a powerful OS web
GIS: MapServer (Map rendering engine), PostGIS (spatial data base) and
OpenLayers (Java Script based map viewer). The main focus of the class will
be hands-on exercises with the goal that every participant will become
familiar with the basics of MapServer, PostGIS and OpenLayers. During the
class there will be ample opportunity for discussions and question and
answer sessions. The final goal is for each participant to set up (with the
instructor's guidance) and customize a basic but functioning Web GIS system
running on their own laptop (which participants need to bring and use in
class).

*Workshop #2, Moving Beyond the Basics of Programming ArcGIS with Python*

Monday and Tuesday, October 17 &18

Description: ArcGIS Desktop is the leading desktop solution for GIS
analysis and mapping. The ArcPy site package, which contains the ArcPy
Mapping and Data Access modules, enables Python programmers to access all
the GIS functionality provided through ArcGIS Desktop.  ArcPy can be
integrated with other open source Python libraries to enhance GUI
development, create stunning reports, charts, and graphs, access REST web
services, perform statistical analysis, and more. This course will teach
you how to take your ArcGIS Desktop application development skills to the
next level by integrating the functionality provided by ArcPy with open
source Python libraries to create intermediate to advanced level ArcGIS
Desktop applications.

Course Modules:

   1. Creating Custom ArcGIS Toolboxes and Tools with Python
   2. Graphical User Interface (GUI) Development with wxPython and ArcGIS
   3. Automating the Production of Map Books with Data Driven Pages and
   ArcPy
   4. Accessing ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online Resources via Python
   5. Integrating Plotly Charts and Graphs with ArcGIS Desktop using Python

Recommended for ArcGIS Desktop programmers with some Python experience who
want to take their skills to the next level.

*Workshop #7, Using ArcGIS Online and Esri Collector to Capture GIS Data*

Half day, Tuesday, October 18, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Description: This 4-hour intro to ArcGIS Online and Esri Collector will
show how ArcGIS Online works, what its capabilities are and how to publish
a map service and share it with your group. A field exercise using the Esri
Collector App will also be included.

We encourage you to bring your own smart device with the Esri Collector App
installed, as we will not be providing data loggers for this session. We
will have some Trimble R1’s and R2’s available for those who want to
experience higher-accuracy data capture with their own devices.

Please bring appropriate clothing for the weather conditions as we will be
going outside.

Whether you are considering implementing ArcGIS Online for your
organization or are actively using this tool already, you will find this
workshop valuable to your organization and application.

Workshop outline:

   - ArcGIS Online intro, configuration and best practices
   - Creating and sharing web maps
   - Using the Esri Collector app for field data collection and update
   - Managing layers and web maps Attendees should bring their own smart
   devices (phone, tablets) with ArcGIS Collector installed. That’s a free App.
