Just before the end of the current Cartography MOOC, ESRI has announced another MOOC which is going to be starting this March of 2021. This one is titled: Do It Yourself Geo Apps
This MOOC will run from March 31 up to April 28, 2021.
Here are a few details as they have outlined on their website:
About this MOOC
Anyone can build apps with ArcGIS.
You don’t have to be a software developer to build valuable geo-enabled apps that make your communities smarter and businesses more successful. Learn how to combine location and narrative in one application to better communicate and broadcast your story, create custom web applications that solve problems in your community, and build powerful native applications for iOS and Android devices without touching a piece of code. If you are a developer, you’ll be interested in Esri’s APIs, tools, and the buzzing ArcGIS developer community.
What are the Goals for this course?
- Understand that geo-enablement means far more than just plotting dots on a map.
- Discover the collection of app templates and story builders for configuring custom geo apps.
- Test-drive ArcGIS Experience Builder and ArcGIS AppStudio to create custom geo apps without coding.
- Learn about the ArcGIS developer community and the spectrum of resources available to you.
They have also specified a bit of some technical detail which will help you get prepared for this MOOC.
