I've been a GIS professional for 15+ years. Most of my career I've been in the ESRI camp, but am now starting to use more open-source tools (QGIS, PostGIS, GDAL/OGR, web-based GIS) so I can "choose the right tool" for the job.
Recently, I have been using Python for process and workflow automation, database reporting/manipulation, and developing new spatial tools.
I am particularly interested in extending Business Intelligence through spatial analysis. Examples include enhanced retail/real estate decision-making during site selection, trade area analysis, customer research, and marketing through demographic analysis.

Is there a compelling case to learn/use Python Toolboxes (new at ArcGIS 10.1) over Python Script Tools? +1 for version control. Great answer! |

Labels for Very Small Features Not Displaying Can you post a small sample dataset for community investigation? Just scrub all of the attributes, and even randomly move the features if needed? |

What is the correct procedure for kriging? I don't want to discourage a new user, but this "series of questions" seems like it fits into the "not a real question" category because it is "overly broad", and could be subject to closure without a more specific question being asked. |

Can anyone tell me why my field calculator is returning this error? Another thought, do you have any quotes, exclamation points, or other special characters in your data that it might be getting confused with? |

Can anyone tell me why my field calculator is returning this error? You said in your question that you are using 10.0. Why is the code error referencing PYTHON_9.3? Are you running this from ArcToolbox? Do you have any NULL data values, or data values < 11 characters long that may be causing it to bomb out? Can you post an image of your Field Calculator window? |

Can anyone tell me why my field calculator is returning this error? You would be wrong about your Python comment. The syntax works just fine for me in 10.0. |

Labels for Very Small Features Not Displaying Are any of the features by chance, multi-part features, where they are getting labeled in other locations? Or have you tried the standard label engine to identify that they will label using a different engine? |

GIS maps for owners information Welcome to GIS.SE. Please be a bit more specific, like for example, a city, county, state, heck, even country would be a start. There are lots of sites out there, but in order for us to give you good answers, we need to know the geographic region. |
