ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and
Functionality (9.3) - 3 day class
The ArcGIS 9.2 version of
this course was titled Introduction to ArcGIS I.
ArcGIS
Desktop software is an integrated system that includes all
the tools needed to get the most out of a GIS. This course
teaches the range of functionality available in the software
and the essential tools for visualizing, creating, managing,
and analyzing geographic data. The hands-on course exercises
emphasize practice with ArcMap and ArcCatalog (the primary
applications included with ArcGIS Desktop software) to
perform common GIS tasks and workflows. The tools for
creating and managing geographic data, displaying data on
maps in different ways, and combining and analyzing data to
discover patterns and relationships are highlighted, and you
learn how ArcGIS Desktop provides a complete GIS software
solution. By the end of the course, you will be prepared to
start working with the software on your own.
Prerequisites and recommendations:
Registrants should know how to
use windows. This course provides the fundamental ArcGIS
knowledge and experience needed to enroll in ArcGIS
Desktop III: GIS Workflows and Analysis, as well as
several other ESRI courses.

ArcGIS
Desktop III: GIS Workflows and Analysis (9.3) - 2 day
class
The ArcGIS 9.2 version of
this course was titled Introduction to ArcGIS II.
Understanding how and when to apply
ArcGIS tools and functions is the key to creating an
efficient GIS workflow. Building on the skills and knowledge
taught in ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and
Functionality, this course shows how to apply ArcGIS
tools in a workflow context with a focus on working with data
stored in a geodatabase and performing geoprocessing and
analysis. In the course exercises, you organize and edit data
stored in a geodatabase, prepare data for analysis, create
and edit geoprocessing models using ModelBuilder, and work
through a challenging analysis project.
Prerequisites and
recommendations:
This course is for those who have
completed ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and
Functionality. If the prerequisite course is not
completed, a student should have comparable experience with
ArcGIS before taking this course.

Introduction to Python
Scripting
The ArcGIS
geoprocessing framework includes a scripting environment, and
Python® is the scripting language included with ArcGIS. This
two-day day course introduces the Python scripting
language and shows how it can be used to access and automate
geoprocessing functionality. Students learn Python scripting
syntax and then begin writing scripts to automate
geoprocessing operations. Students also learn how to
incorporate Python scripts as custom tools in ArcToolbox.
Topics
Covered
Those completing this course
will be able to:
- Understand the basics of the Python scripting language.
- Understand how scripts can be used in the ArcGIS
geoprocessing framework.
- Incorporate tools and environment settings into
scripts.
- Incorporate cursors, describe objects, and enumerations
into scripts.
- Work with scripts in ArcToolbox.
- Access resources for debugging Python code.

Getting Started with VBA for ArcGIS
8.x,
This
three-day course is an introductory class
for ESRI’s Version 8 software and it’s customization
environment. The class will explore the VBA development
environment and ArcGIS’s customization dialog in order to
provide users with useful knowledge for developing
customizations for ArcGIS. Day one will introduce users to
object-oriented programming and Visual Basic for
Applications, VBA. We will talk about the Component Object
Model (COM), visual basic code structures, useful functions
and statements. Day two will focus on ArcObjects, ESRI’s
object model, on which all your customizations will be based.
We will spend the day reading the object model diagrams and
creating custom code in VBA for ArcGIS. Day three will give
us an opportunity to apply our knowledge of COM, ArcObjects
and VBA to real-world customizations.

Topology in the
Geodatabase
In this two-day course,
students will be introduced to topology in the current ArcGIS
Geodatabase environment. Local data will be used for the
course. Participants learn how to create, use, edit and
manage spatial and attribute data stored in the Geodatabase.
Data loading, topology rule creation, and maintaining data
integrity through spatial and attribute validation will be
covered. Participants are encouraged to bring their local
data, if possible.
Audience
This course is for
spatial data managers and analysts who have an understanding
of the ArcGIS desktop applications (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and
ArcToolbox) and are ready to make use of the Geodatabase
environment. New and existing data managers interested in
migrating to the Geodatabase environment can benefit from
taking this course.
Goals
• Geodatabase creation and data
loading
• Creation
of topology in the Geodatabase
• Spatial
validation of topology
• Creation
of Subtypes and Domains
• Attribute
validation
• Perform
topologic edits
Topics
covered
Geodatabase
overview, Introducing Topology in the Geodatabase, Spatial
and Attribute validation in the Geodatabase, and Performing
Topologic edits.
Prerequisites and
recommendations
Registrants should
have taken Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView 8,
ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8), or have equivalent knowledge.
Attendees should be familiar with ArcMap and ArcCatalog. It
is NOT required that registrants have extensive experience
with Geodatabases before taking this course. The focus of the
course is to provide an introduction to Geodatabases and
Topology in the ArcGIS environment with hands on exercises
using local data.

Working with ArcView Spatial
Analyst
This
three-day course explores how this ArcView GIS
software extension allows the use of raster and vector data in
an integrated environment. The course teaches basic raster
concepts and introduces GIS models. It emphasizes problems that
are best solved in a raster environment, such as surface
analysis and distance measurement. Class participants learn to
use the raster tools in ArcView Spacial Analyst Extension, how
to convert between feature- and grid- based themes, and how to
access additional functionality by issuing Avenue requests with
the Map Calculator.
Prerequisites: No programming experience is
required, although registrants should be familiar with ArcView
GIS software.
