Introduction
to ArcView 3.3
Introduction
to ArcGIS - I
Introduction
to ArcGIS - II
Migrating
from ArcView 3.x to ArcGIS
Introduction
to ArcIMS
Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView 9, ArcEditor 9, and ArcInfo 9)
Overview
This new two-day course introduces students to ArcGIS 9 and provides the foundation for becoming a successful ArcView, ArcEditor, or ArcInfo user. Participants learn how to use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solution. The course covers fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and georeference spatial data. Attendees learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts.
Audience
Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo) is for those who are new to ArcGIS or to geographic information systems in general.
Goals
- Display feature and tabular data
- Work with georeferenced spatial data
- Query features using logical expressions
- Find features using spatial relationships
- Edit spatial and attribute data
- Associate tables with joins and relates
- Produce
maps, reports, and graphs
Topics covered
ArcGIS overview: Capabilities and applications; Interacting with the interface; Basic display
Spatial data concepts: Representing spatial data and descriptive information
ArcGIS data model: Geodatabases; Shapefiles; Coverages; Feature types; Attributes
GIS software: Components; Functions; Applications
Spatial coordinate systems and map projections: Georeferencing data; What map projections are; How ArcMap works with map projections
Querying data: Selecting and identifying features; Creating reports and graphs
Map
displays: Creating; Symbolizing; Scaling; Adding map elements
Prerequisites
and recommendations
Registrants should know how to use windowing software.
Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo) provides the fundamental ArcGIS knowledge and experience needed to enroll in Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo) as well as several other ESRI courses. Many of the topics covered in this course are similar to those in What’s New in ArcInfo 9 and Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 9. Attendees who complete this course should not enroll in What’s New in ArcInfo 9 or Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 9.
Students who have worked with ArcInfo prior to version 9 and want to learn about the new applications in ArcInfo should take What’s New in ArcInfo 9. Students who have worked with prior versions of ArcView GIS and want to learn about ArcView 9 applications should take Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 9.
