How much programming is involved in professional GIS positions?

Such as a GIS Analyst or technician for a city or even for such places as a police station, fire station, wild life service, etc.

How much programming is involved in professional GIS positions?
I am the senior analyst for a water district and the most programming I have done is making tools in ArcGIS. So in a nut shell we don’t do any programming.
Reply:Chris,


Programming is not essential for GIS but the more you know the easier things can be. If you learn more about Python and VB you can create your own shortcuts. Basically anything that you would use programming for would be for a shortcut. Where are you getting your certificate from? Report It

Reply:GIS generally doesnt require programming. So if your required to do it i doubt you should really put much effort into it.
