GIS Programming Module 1: Introduction to Python

Not much to report from the first week of GIS Programming. This week was a very basic overview of the Python scripting language and how the course is going to work. For the first assignment, we were given a prepared Python script to automatically set up a folder tree to be used for file storage throughout the course. All we had to to was open it in PythonWin and run it, but it was pretty neat:


12 folders with more folders inside them, and all I had to do was click a button.

I took some programming classes just for fun a few years ago, so I'm pretty excited to learn more about using Python this semester, and especially how to apply those skills to GIS.
