Hello, Fresh Learner Starting GIS Journey

Question

Hello,

I am Jacob, an Environmental Science major working my way through college. I decided to learn GIS on my own time and plan to also learn Python for now and other coding in the future. I am interested in working with watersheds and doing habitat remediation. I hope to use GIS to apply data in a way that can help bring about positive change.

Welcome! Python is a great place to start digging in. Things you may want to look into, if you haven't already:

* Anaconda, for managing Python and R environments
* Jupyter Notebooks
* Setting up with GitHub / VS Code to manage your notebooks and share your work
* The GeoPandas and Pandas Python libraries
* Bokeh / Matplotlib for making snazzy visualizations of your work

Great GIS Python tutorials are easily found both on ESRI pages and elsewhere. Good luck!
