ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro

[MHoagland]

Good Morning.   I am working my way through various elementary tutorials... now in ArcGIS Online Basics.  Should I be work through exercises with ArcMap or (since ArcMap is soon to be replaced by ArcGIS Pro ??) should I move forward now with ArcGIS Pro?

• Migrating to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap: In this seminar, the presenters introduce key ArcGIS Pro terminology and components, demonstrate how to migrate maps and other items to ArcGIS Pro, and share additional resources that will help ArcMap users smoothly transition GIS workflows to ArcGIS Pro.
• ArcGIS Pro: Tips and Tricks  Learn handy tools and shortcuts to efficiently create great maps, edit your data, and share the results of your work in ArcGIS Pro.
• Creating a Web Map in ArcGIS Pro: ArcGIS Pro allows you to create maps in a desktop environment and then share them as web maps and web layers. In this course, you will learn how to create a dynamic, multiscale map in ArcGIS Pro and then publish it to ArcGIS Online.
• Getting Started with Data Management: Explore how GIS data is structured, stored, and accessed in this entry-level course.
• Introduction to Spatial Data: Learn some foundational concepts of spatial data.
• Displaying Coordinate Data on a Map: Learn more about coordinates and x,y data
• Symbolizing Map Layers: Introduces ArcGIS Pro tools for symbology
• Querying Data Using ArcGIS Pro: Teaches the building blocks of query expression and how to select features that meet one or more attribute criteria.
• Getting Started with the Geodatabase: Introduces geodatabase components and presents techniques for efficiently organizing and adding both vector and raster data to a geodatabase.
• Integrating Data in ArcGIS Pro: Teaches GIS data concepts and how to add data to a geodatabase.
• Basics of Geographic Coordinate Systems: Teaches fundamental concepts of geographic coordinate systems.

Some addtional resources.  If you are looking for Mapping and Visualization:

• Cartographic Creations in ArcGIS Pro (Tutorial): Teaches how to create a print-ready map in ArcGIS Pro.
• Getting Started with Mapping and Visualization: Learn how to access smart mapping and cartography.
• Symbolizing Map Layers: Learn how to best symbolize your map data that your audience can trust.
• Labeling Map Features: This course will show you how to add and customize labels for your maps.
• Creating and Sharing Animation in ArcGIS Pro: Shows how to animate and produce ready-to share videos of your work.

• Creating a Map Layout: This course will how you how to use various layout elements to design an effective map layout.
• Cartography: (MOOC), 6 weeks): Experienced cartographers teach their craft, including cartographic design, messaging, and ArcGIS skills.
• Mapping Addresses and Places: This course will demonstrate how address information can help you geocode data to place it on a map and answer spatial questions
• Location-Enabling Data: This course will demonstrate the many uses and methods for placing data on a map.
• Mapping Locations from Unstructured Text: This course will show you how to extract location description information from unstructured text.
• Symbolizing Map Layers: This course teaches how to best symbolize your map data so that your audience gets the information that it needs.
• How to make a full-on vintage scalebar in ArcGIS Pro If you are going to add a scalebar (or anything) to you map, you might as well own it, right? In this video series I’ll walk through the configuration and design options for scalebars in ArcGIS Pro.
