I was excited to get into the real GIS work last week and ran into some technical difficulties, so I apologize for the delay in this post. This group of chapters was extremely helpful in understanding and navigating the ArcGIS Pro app. Initially, I thought the app would be simple and easy to use, but there is much more to it than I expected. However, all these tools are very useful to engage in the full application of GIS. The ability to change formatting as needed and control the layering of each aspect is impressive for creating the perfect visual, regardless of the need. The step-by-step style and many tutorials, including very simple steps is a very nice way of learning GIS programs and helpful for me personally as a very hands-on learner. I really enjoyed how interactive the maps remained even after creation. Being able to zoom in, click on points, and review specific information on an area with a click of a button really shows how incredibly useful GIS is to a multitude of different applications. I also did not know that GIS can be used to make graphs or informants other than maps. Chapters one through three covered a lot of information on the basics of GIS, and it was a very helpful introduction for someone who has utilized very little of these programs before.
