Class is in session! In this video, I will show you how you can use the integrated development environment (IDE) called Visual Studio for writing Python computer code. I will then show you how you can take code that you write in Visual Studio and run it inside of the ArcGIS Pro GIS software environment. I use a coding exercise of reading in a comma separated values (CSV) file using Python and then turning content from the CSV into a shape file using ArcPy. I'll walk you through all the steps in the process and explain all of the code in detail. This video will be particularly useful for people that want to start doing more advanced Python coding using ArcPy with an industry-standard coding environment like Visual Studio. This tutorial was recorded during one of my lectures at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
