Getting to Know ArcGIS Pro

I am currently studying for the ArcGIS Associates Technical exam and I'm so happy I bought this. The book is easy to follow, and has step by step workflows for hands on learning. The data associated work in the book covers real world situations making it easier to find ways you can implement the tools and features into your own projects. Strongly recommend buying this book. Preferably the e-book so you can refer to it whenever, wherever.

I picked this up as an introduction to Pro. I've used desktop for about 10 years, so I'm pretty familiar with GIS and the ESRI platform. This is a nice introduction to Pro, you'll learn where all the major tools you use on a daily basis are in the new ribbon format and get practice with it. It is meant for absolute beginners so experienced users will fly through it, but I did enjoy it and find it useful.

I'm using this ebook in my Master's course and it's so easy to use and incredibly informative.I wish the GIS courses I took while going for my Bachelor's would have used this book.

Great introduction to ArcGIS Pro. I have been working with the program for a few months now and this has shown me a few new things that I didn't know before.

It's too hard to just 'jump into ArcGIS, and the book works well as a tutorial - better than what's on line for free - so it might still be worth buying. But it really only gives you just a once over lightly of the software, cookbook style, and doesn't cover everything. The book works poorly as a reference to help you with particular questions as they come up. It only has a skimpy four page index, includes very little in the way of background or discussion of subject material. ArcGIS has moved to version 2.0 since this book was published in 2016, but that didn't seem to present many problems. I noticed very few instances in which the old screen shots didn't look like the current screen. But at $54, it should be comprehensive and up-to-date.

The walkthrough in the book is really simple and makes it easy to learn how to use the GIS program.

It's a great book to get acquainted with ArcGIS Pro. However, my biggest criticism of this book is that it lacks exercises you can do once you complete the tutorials so you can get practice without the step by step instructions. I feel like once I complete the tutorials I need a few exercises to make sure I learned what was presented. Other than that, it is a great book. A must-have!

Easy to follow, the software is wonderful to have for practice. Great purchase for learning ArcGIS Pro

high quality book,
