Introduction to ArcIMS
Introduction
to ArcIMS (Updated)
Overview
This updated three-day course introduces students to ArcIMS—an integrated approach for creating and maintaining geography-based Web sites. ArcIMS offers powerful GIS capabilities in an easy-to-use framework, changing the way users can access and interact with Internet mapping and GIS data. Class participants gain hands-on experience using ArcIMS to build, utilize, and customize Internet mapping applications. This course also empowers attendees with a conceptual overview of how GIS mapping works on the Internet.
Audience
Introduction to ArcIMS is for those who want to learn how to use ArcIMS to serve maps on the Internet. No prior knowledge of GIS or Internet technology is required.
Goals
- Author and design ArcIMS Web sites
- Utilize client viewer functionality
- Manage site administration
- Understand ArcXML structure and customization
- Customize HTML and Java viewers
- Install
ArcIMS and explore its architecture

Prerequisites and recommendations
Although
prior use of ArcView GIS, ArcInfo, or MapObjects helps in understanding
GIS concepts, it is not a requirement. Similarly, those with an understanding
of Internet programming and Web-based protocols have an advantage; however,
experience with these is not required.
