From 4 months ago in the beta forums for ArcGIS Pro:
Charlie Macleod (Esri Staff\Beta Testers\Pro SDK Beta Testers):
So, with regards to the SDK, there is no Beta SDK release with Pro Beta5 or pre-release, With regards to the API - right, so, unlike with Arcobjects where a separate set of PIAs were required - "the" Arcobject API if you like - as ArcGIS Pro is managed you already ~have~ the API. The API is part of the product. Add any Pro .Net assembly reference into to a .Net project and Intellisense will show you the API. The Core.Data namespace is indeed the fine grained API. It comes with every release - Beta5, pre-release, etc. as does every other Pro .Net assembly and its API. Each team is responsible for their respective API - mapping team for mapping API, editing team for editing API and so on. The SDK for Pro is the IDE extensibility - Visual Studio 2013 initially. It extends Pro via Pro's framework (essentially any of the UI elements you see in Pro are extensibility points). You use the SDK templates to make Addins - same as at 10x. What the Addins can do is provided by the ArcGIS Pro APIs. |
