Justin - there are a number of ArcGIS Pro texts that are available through Esri Press - one of the latest ones that would be good to check out for a wide-range of 'skills' would be the new Top 20: https://www.esri.com/en-us/esri-press/browse/top-20-essential-skills-for-arcgis-pro Also - if I were you - I would just leverage the Esri Academy and Learn resources - that way you can dive into specific topics that you are interested in - and there is a wide-array of material in those sites to check out. ArcGIS Learn Gallery: https://learn.arcgis.com/en/gallery/ Esri Academy: https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/search/ Also - as you plan on moving on from your program - the ArcGIS Personal Use license includes ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, all of the configurable web applications, etc. It's a great way to build your digitial portfolio and keep your skills up (and it's really affordable): https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-for-personal-use/buy

So - it's a great feature - definitely worth looking at if you are trying to boost performance... and it's just included in Chrome and Firefox - the video here shows Chrome (but same premise in FF). So - here is a basic video of me loading the website in Chrome - you can follow along and do the same thing (which I would recommend). The biggest issue I am seeing - is that fact that there are ALOT of layers... and even though they are 'hidden'... they are still getting cached/loaded up... A way you can prevent this... is to adjust visibility for the layers at varying zoom scales (you can do this right in the web map). So - if you don't need the 'Water Right' layer to be visible to your users right away - at the main app load - set that layer to only be visible when zoomed in to 'X' scale (a scale different than your initial map load scale) - then it will help lighten the initial map load. Then... you can test your app with the Dev tools again! Right now - I had a '368 MS' load time - the red number down at the bottom of the frame... pretty slow... So, try and see if you can bring that down a bit with the layer visibility settings.

Can you share the app/maps? I'd be curious to see the complexity of the layers and how they are performing. Have you played around with the 'Developer Tools' in Chrome or Firefox - they are great for looking at loading times of various layers/features to pinpoint what might be the issue.

@PatIampietro - I just sent a note over to the MGET team to let them know about this blog/etc. - feel free to send them a note (if you haven't in a bit) to let them know you are waiting! (All of the project websites listed above have a 'contact' or 'help' alias and thus far - almost every team has been really positive and responsive!)

Eh @DGessman_USF - I know you are aware of these contacts - but I just wanted to post in case others were not aware. If anyone has additional questions related to maps and accessibility, we have an 'accessibility team' at Esri that loves to engage with customers. The reason for going through this central site, is that there are obviously a lot of different products, workflows, needs, etc. - so it helps get you to the right team more quickly (ex. screen readers vs. text to speech / mobile applications vs. ArcGIS Pro). The bottom of the page has a 'form' which will route inquiries to an alias - which will then allow the right team members to get back with you: https://www.esri.com/en-us/accessibility/resources The Esri product team's have also been making a lot of accessibility enhancements on the latest web applications, so searching across the ArcGIS Blog also highlights a number of updates: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/?s=#accessibility&products=browse-all

UPDATES AS OF: July 31st, 2024 HAZUS? X-Tools? GeoRAS? That picture of Jerry Garcia when you typed 'jerry' in a new edit session? We would like to know what add-ons/plugins are preventing you from moving to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap. The goal of this post/blog is to record and track the add-ons/plugins that the education community has let us know are a roadblock for moving to ArcGIS Pro. In the comments - please let us know about other add-ons that are not on the list and we will work to update the main post. The goal for this post is not to discuss ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro features/functions... that is taking place in many other locations, we want to hear about add-ons, etc. Lastly - almost all of the organizations that are managing or building these plugins have contact forms and message boards. Please use these avenues to let these teams/individuals know about your need for an ArcGIS Pro version. HAZUS What/Functionality Hazus is a nationally applicable standardized methodology that contains models for estimating potential losses from earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis.

@R__MichaelCousins - I think one of the issues is that this is a post that @JosephKerski put together 10 years ago... so there are bound to be some dead links. But I am sure Joseph would love to chime in with some new resources/content.

@JUSTINCOLE3 - I remember you asking about X-Ray awhile back. It has certainly received a fair bit of traffic/up votes here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/x-ray-for-arcgis-pro/idi-p/968285/ The other thing to note - that we can get more detail on is the 'near term' enhancement to Pro that will include 'Schema Reporting' - but I don't know any of the details on that yet: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-documents/arcgis-pro-roadmap-february-2023/ta-p/1261591

Authors: @JosephKerski, @CanserinaKurnia, @BrianBaldwin Evolutions in technology give us time to reflect and reconsider—what lessons should I retain? What content should I delete? What have I always wanted to include? It’s an appropriate time to think about your program, course, and unit goals—what do you actually want to accomplish? When you are getting ready to move to a new city, do you pack up your old broken blender? Do you bring the CD-ROM full of Census data from 1998? Over the years, your needs have changed… and so have your students. While it rings true for a move to a new house or apartment, it’s the same for GIS! With the impending retirement of ArcMap – it’s an opportunity to look at your ‘move’ as not just a migration to ArcGIS Pro, but a shift to a new modality of teaching GIS. A GIS that shifts from a disconnected desktop to a cloud-based platform that includes web applications, web services, mobile tools, real-time data, AI, hosted imagery, scripting, coding, etc. To return to our moving analogy for a minute… are you still going to sign up for a land line at your new apartment? Considering the main tool for introductory courses Building on the above modality shift, we want to make the case that ArcGIS Online, and its associated Instant Apps, data services, StoryMaps, mapping, and spatial analysis capabilities make it quite suitable for an introductory course in GIS. We the authors of this essay have done this in our own courses and so have many professors in universities, and in community, technical, and tribal colleges. In fact, with the recent migration of raster analysis and additional vector analysis tools, even the second course in GIS can also be wholly taught using ArcGIS Online. By encouraging students to use web-based applications or StoryMaps during face-to-face courses, in videos, or during discussions in online courses, they can help serve as assessment tools for faculty. Equally as important, with fewer tools than in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online allows students to easily grasp the capabilities of these tools and get excited about the possibilities that GIS holds for their own futures, without a steep learning curve. Furthermore, there are fewer technology challenges with ArcGIS Online, especially important to students who are new to GIS. Students can run a web browser on any device, with nothing to install, and no virtualization tools to run. Current events such as wildfires or flooding can be easily added as real-time layers. One benefit of the hosted nature of ArcGIS Online, is that assignments and modules can be embedded easily into Learning Management Systems. ArcGIS Online is also the perfect tool for your colleagues in other disciplines (sociology, history, biology, mathematics, and others) to introduce spatial perspective in their own courses. Use Available Lessons & Labs Many of us became instructors because we enjoy creating and customizing curriculum for specific courses and programs. If you are keen on migrating some of your existing ArcMap lessons to ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and other tools, we (authors of this essay) have done it and so can you – we will support you. However, as an instructor, you have a choice of either creating your own lessons or using existing ones. There is no shortage of existing lessons, ranging from the ArcGIS Learn library and Esri Virtual Academy to shared higher education resources (such as GeoTech Center and iGETT), Esri and university MOOCs, and many others. The point is: you don’t need to create everything yourself. Think about the best way to spend your time – some weeks, it might be better spent on the reflections and discussions that you add to a course rather than spending 20 hours developing a lesson, 95% of the contents of which is already created and curated by Esri or another library. There is no shame in using a lesson that someone else created in sections of your courses or programs. How can I keep up when the technology changes so quickly? This is a sentiment we hear all of the time – and many of us feel the same way. Rather than fight an uphill battle against the tide of technology, you need to move with the current. If the topic is real-time data, or mobile tools, Esri is constantly building out lessons and resources that can be used as introductory material. These provide ‘step by step’ instructions to get students familiar with the technology – the benefit being that you don’t need to create screenshots or build guides. And in the future, these lessons will be updated, which can free your time to improve other components of your courses and programs. If you screen to excess and make your lessons consequently long, you will remain in a continuous cycle of having to update and curate your lessons. Please, don’t do this! Rather, spend less time updating curriculum, and use that new-found time to create new curricular ideas, teaching techniques, and furthering your own research. Close The significant changes in GIS honestly provide an opportunity to re-think and re-imagine the goals and purpose of your courses. Yes, the times… they are a changing, but you aren’t on your own. There are a wide array of lessons, resources, guides, and tutorials available that cover many of these new topics. Others have already done it and we are here to help as well. While it might be bittersweet to leave the rotary phone behind in your old apartment, I promise you, your new place has great WIFI.
