Your Progress

PLEASE NOTE: This course was created using the ArcGIS API for Python version 2.3.0. Esri recently released 2.4.0 which has major changes and this course does not currently cover, but I am working hard on the 2.4.0 material which you will be given access to once completed (early next year). If you have ArcGIS Pro installed and using the ArcGIS API for Python from the Python packages installed with Pro, the course material is good up to ArcGIS Pro version 3.3.
