2 - ArcGIS Enterprise and SSL Considerations

This video simply has to be near the top of the Top 20 this year, if only because the rooms in which we held these workshops were far too small.

Are you already using the new Python API for ArcGIS and thinking that there's a lot more you could be learning and doing? Good chance you are right. Learn about the rich ecosystem of Python packages out there and ideas for how to use them with ArcGIS for improved visualization, statistical analysis, and data science.

17 - Building Your own Widget with ArcGIS API for JavaScript

Well-designed widgets make you a more efficient developer - plain and simple. Common tasks, even complicated ones, designed and built into reusable widgets, allow you to spend the bulk of your productive coding time solving new or one-off problems, and creative time innovating new ways to make your users more productive.
