Module 1: Python Environments & Flowcharts

Module 1: Python Environments & Flowcharts

This week, we used simple Python commands to create filepaths for our coursework. To do this, first, I opened the Python file from the assignment folder and edited the file paths to be on my desktop. I was then able to run the given code without error. Creating a file system for this class. I then filled out the process summary and used draw.io to create the flowchart

We also covered the Zen of Python. I found the Zen of Python to be 19 helpful, yet humorous list of principles for coding Python. While not a set of hard rules, it has many helpful principles to keep in mind anytime you are writing code. While it can, in a sense, contradict itself, it is more a set of guidelines; it is something very useful to be aware of, but fine to deviate from when it is required.

Notes: This was much easier than week three (That I accidentally did instead yesterday (who would have guessed)), and I only had one error, and that was not using the remote desktop. This had a very simple fix, just remade the file path in the code to locate my folder for the class.

About Me - GIS 4006

  About Me Hello everyone, my name is Nick Wagner. I am an undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Natural Science. I am currently working towards a certificate in Geographic Information Systems with the hope of expanding my skills in GIS and the potential future opportunities to work in this field.  I am also a scholar of UWF’s honors program. I have spent the last few summers of 2023 and 24 working at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. I have worked as both a backcountry PC and a Ranger in Philmont. I also had the opportunity to complete a study abroad in the Galapagos Islands and an internship with the Tarpon Springs Aquarium over the last two summers.  Last winter, I was able to spend 5 days hiking the Grand Canyon with my mother and brother. This was an amazing experience, and I used this as inspiration for my first assignment of the semester, a GIS story map you can view here - My orientation story map for GIS 4006 - https://arcg.is/081u1X I aspire to work in th...

M2 Lab: Typography

Image
Module 2 Lab: Typography For this week's module, we practiced using the label tool in ArcGIS to create good typography in a map layout. We learned the specifics of label design, including font type, size, orientation, and placement.  I took the given design and customized three aspects.  First, I re-did almost all the colors on the map to provide better contrast in the image.  Second, I re-did all the font/text sizing to provide better balance in the map.  Third, after selecting the required cities, I went in and picked the most prominent icons to represent them against the background.  I used a few tools to create this map, the primary of these was the label tool. After importing the map, adjusting the color, and creating the labels, I spent most of the time designing the text to complement the map.
