Pre-summit Hands-On Training

The pre-summit hands-on workshop is an excellent opportunity to take a deep-dive to learn everything from A-Z about AppStudio for ArcGIS. Make sure to pre-register to attend.

March 3-4, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm

Royal III, Riviera Palm Springs

In this two-day hands-on course, attendees will learn how to build multiple native applications containing UI, mapping and GIS capabilities. We will start by using the templates and samples to configure the fully functional apps to meet our needs without any coding. Once you get comfortable with configuration options we will dive deeper to look at the code behind and learn how to customize them further. We will also build new applications from scratch using very friendly QML and JavaScript languages. Since AppStudio is a cross-platform app building solution, the applications you build can be run or deployed on both desktop platforms such as Windows, Linux, and macOS machines, and also on mobile platforms like Android and iOS.Whether you are an experienced developer looking to learn new tips and tricks or GIS Pro interested in building native apps for the first time this workshop will surely help you both understand the concepts and give you valuable hands-on experience.

It is required that you bring your own laptop (Mac or Windows) for development and a smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android) to test the apps. HTML/JavaScript or hybrid app development experience, and light reading on QML is helpful, but not required.
