You totally missed the part where OP said she was looking into Python because she ALREADY WORKS IN GIS.
Did not, I'm describing things you can do with gis across the spectrum, ESRI or not, preferably once you have a decent python foundation. Edit I and others are saying "do some non GIS projects in python FIRST, then explore these GIS related things." Because jumping to scripting in arc pro alone isn't advised.
Why are you being combative? I'm not hating on them at all. I literally just rattled off common file formats, libraries, and projects to consider. The original comment says they scraped a few things together from tutorials, and I and other comments are discussing how to build a strong foundation, then extend it.
I've got no ill will for OP.
Knowing how to script a bit in arc pro does not really mean you know anything about python, or programming for GIS at even a basic professional level. That's ok, no hate, everyone starts out. Checking out various software, formats and libraries, in addition to getting the python basics down will open a huge world of projects and even work opportunities
I'm not the one being combative here. You're attitude is pretty condescending and alienating. Are you okay?
Absolutely not. I'm in line with others.
I suggested a basic python book, then listed topics to get into next. They didn't discount they already work in gis, it acknowledges they said they want to learn how to code and apply it to GIS.
