Attendees learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts. Many of the topics covered in this course are similar to those in Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 8 and What's New in ArcInfo 8 . Attendees who complete this course should not enroll in Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 8 or What's New in ArcInfo 8 . This course is for those who are new to ArcGIS and to geographic information systems in general. With further exploration of ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox, students focus on spatial analysis, data automation of spatial and attribute data, editing, and advanced options for cartographic display and reports.
Online exercises teach ArcGIS procedures in the context of solving real-world problems.
Examples and exercises use data from a variety of application areas. A portion of the class is reserved for carrying out an analysis project, applying many of the new skills and techniques learned in this course. Students conduct queries, perform spatial analysis, and present their results in a hard-copy map and report. It is designed for those who are new to ArcGIS and geographic information systems in general. This new two-day course introduces ArcView GIS 3.x users to the features and architecture of ArcView 8.
