Mastering ArcGIS Pro introduces the basic ideas behind GIS, teaching the concepts and skills needed to enter this rapidly evolving industry or use GIS in your current discipline. Based on the widely used ArcGIS software developed by Esri, Inc., this text integrates learning fundamental concepts with practicing software skills and is suitable for classroom use or for professionals studying independently.

Although the concepts of GIS have remained fairly constant over time, the software is continually evolving. With the release of ArcGIS Pro, the latest software in the Esri GIS family, a new generation of GIS has arrived. ArcGIS Pro has a 64-bit, multithreaded architecture, uses ribbon-style menus, integrates 2D and 3D applications, and is closely tied to ArcGIS Online.

The Mastering ArcGIS Pro series represents a major revision of Mastering ArcGIS, a book that covered GIS concepts and skills using the ArcGIS Desktop programs of ArcMap and ArcCatalog. Although the GIS concepts largely remain the same in both texts, the implementation, and in some cases the terminology, has changed. The new software prompted a reorganization of the book in the first edition, and the second edition has retained these changes.

First, the book has been refocused on the basics of GIS. Partly for this reason, and partly to better match the rhythm of a semester, the book is now presented in 12 chapters, leaving time for instructors to better incorporate exams and projects within the semester. Some of the more advanced and less frequently used skills, such as planar topology and standards-based metadata, have been left for students to explore on their own. The ArcGIS Pro software capabilities and interface are continuing to evolve. Although the basic capabilities of ArcGIS Pro have not much changed since the first edition, the interface has many small changes. This second edition has been updated to reflect many small changes to the interface between versions 2.2 and 2.8.

Second, the book includes some new topics. Raster data management has been discussed in a new chapter to acquaint students with compiling and processing raster data sets, supplementing a similar chapter on vector data management. ArcGIS Pro was designed to foster the sharing of GIS data and workflows, and these enhanced capabilities are explored in another new chapter, including how to prepare a database for collecting data using mobile devices.

Third, the chapters and topics have been reorganized to eliminate some repetition and to present the information more logically. The text still roughly follows the project model with data management presented first and analysis second.

ArcGIS Pro includes many distinct program routines (tools) used to accomplish specific tasks. A user can also create custom tools (models) or write programs (scripts) in a language called Python. Tools created for a specific project can be saved within the project for easy access. A script is a software program written in a programming language but able to call functions from the GIS software program, such as running the Buffer tool. Employing a programming or scripting language, such as Perl or Python, expands the sophistication and complexity of the workflows by allowing them to test conditions, make decisions, and communicate with the person running the script. Once a macro, model, or program is created, it can be distributed to others who need to accomplish the same task in a quick or standardized way. Esri has adopted the open-source language Python as its recommended scripting platform. A copy of Python is installed with ArcGIS, and all Esri scripting examples and supplemental tools are written in Python.
