Chapter 4-
This chapter I started to have a really fun issue, where I couldn’t run ArcGIS Pro on my desktop directly. It would continuously try to have me redownload it, so the only way I could open the software was through the tutorial files. So in order to complete tutorial 4-1 and 4-2, I had to open tutorial 4-3, and access the “create new project” option through there. I was confused on the shapefiles in 4-1, because they would keep disappearing when I added a new one, but then I learned you had to click open a new tool to save it. I also had trouble in 4-2 with deleting rows in the tables. I had to select them all individually and delete them instead of holding ctrl like the book suggests. I kept getting error messages while trying to calculate the PercentPopYouth20 field, so I ended up skipping that part of the tutorial because it was frustrating me.
Chapter 5-
In this chapter, the first tutorials were simple, just teaching me different projections of the maps. On the third tutorial everything went fine, until i went to change the coordinate systems to what the book instructed and it wasn’t there so I ended up skipping the California map.
Chapter 6-
In this chapter I learned how to use the pairwise dissolve tool to create neighborhoods. Then I learned how to isolate different study areas using different “select by” tools. I also learned how to merge separate features using the “merge” tool, as well as adding features using the “append” tool. This chapter went very smoothly for me.
