Python Scripting for ArcGIS

This book is a guide for experienced users of ArcGIS(R) Desktop to
get started with Python scripting without needing previous programming
experience. Experience with other scripting or programming languages
(Perl, VBA, VB script, Java, C++) is helpful but not required.
Readers are expected to have good general ArcGIS skills and a basic
understanding of geoprocessing procedures. There are 14 chapters
with corresponding exercises on an accompanying DVD.
Also included is access to a 180-day trial of ArcGIS(R) 10.1 for Desktop.
