With further exploration of ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox, participants focus on spatial analysis, automation of spatial and attribute data, editing, and advanced options for cartographic display and reports. Hands-on 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 and applying many of the new skills and techniques learned in this course. Participants conduct queries, perform spatial analysis, and present their results in a hard-copy map and report. This course is designed for those with fundamental knowledge of ArcGIS and geographic information systems, in general.
Cost: $750.00 per seat

Building Geodatabases
Date(s): July 17-19, 2007
Instructor: ESRI
Overview: This course provides an overview of the structure and
capabilities of the geodatabase. Students learn how to create a
geodatabase, migrate existing GIS data to a geodatabase, and edit and
maintain data stored in a geodatabase. The course covers some advanced
geodatabase topics including how to build a geodatabase topology;
maintain data integrity using subtypes, attribute domains, and
relationship classes; and create a geodatabase schema. In course
exercises, students work with the file geodatabase and learn how to
migrate personal geodatabase data to a file geodatabase and create
various geodatabase components. This course is taught using an ArcInfo
license of ArcGIS since many of the advanced features of the geodatabase
require an ArcEditor or ArcInfo license.
Cost: $1,425.00 per seat

* Data Production & Editing Techniques
Date(s): March 26-28, 2007; July 31-August 2, 2007
Instructor: ESRI
Overview: Intended for the GIS technician, this course teaches the software skills and concepts needed to automate and maintain feature data in an ArcGIS geodatabase. Using the tools available with ArcGIS software, students learn techniques for data preparation, conversion, and editing. They also learn how topology and other geodatabase validation rules help maintain data integrity as part of an editing workflow. This course teaches practical methods for working with spatial and attribute data with an emphasis on data stored in the geodatabase. Each day concludes with a project, allowing students to apply these techniques on their own.
Cost: $1,350.00 per seat

* Data Management in the Multi-user Geodatabase
Date(s): June 12-14, 2007
Instructor: ESRI
Overview: ArcSDE technology is an integrated part of ArcGIS Server and
is used to access multiuser geographic databases stored in relational
database management systems (RDBMS). This course prepares GIS and
database administrators to implement an ArcSDE geodatabase by teaching
how to load and manage ArcSDE data. The course presents concepts
applicable to both workgroup and enterprise ArcSDE geodatabases but
focuses primarily on the enterprise ArcSDE geodatabase. Students learn
the basic architecture of a multiuser geodatabase and are introduced to
ArcSDE connection types. The course focuses on loading and managing
vector and raster data and emphasizes best practices for interacting
with a multiuser geodatabase. Students explore multiuser geodatabase
design strategies and editing options for data stored in a multiuser
geodatabase, including versioning.
Cost: $1,425.00 per seat

* Introduction to the Multiuser Geodatabase
Date(s): May 2-3, 2007
Instructor: ESRI
Overview: The multiuser geodatabase uses ArcSDE technology and a
relational database management system (RDBMS) to store large amounts of
GIS data that many users may concurrently access. This course, designed
for the end user of a multiuser geodatabase, bridges the gap between the
ArcSDE administrator and the GIS professional and shows how to leverage
the powerful capabilities offered by the multiuser geodatabase. Students
learn how to apply GIS skills in a multiuser environment and how the
multiuser environment differs from the personal geodatabase for
Microsoft* AccessTM environment. The course also discusses geodatabase
functionality in the context of an editing environment, fundamental
editing workflow procedures, and clientside performance considerations.
This course does not focus on a specific supported RDBMS and is suitable
for users working with personal, workgroup, and enterprise geodatabases
Cost: $1,425.00 per seat

* Introduction to Programming with ArcObjects Using VBA
Date(s): August 21-23, 2007
Instructor: ESRI
Overview: ArcObjects components are the building blocks of ArcGIS
software. To support or automate organizational workflow tasks,
ArcObjects can be used to extend core ArcGIS functionality and create
custom applications. This course provides a foundation for application
development using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and ArcObjects. In
course exercises, students create usable ArcObjects code for typical GIS
programming tasks. Students work with VBA development tools and the
ArcGIS Customize dialog box and learn how to access online help
resources. After completing the course, students will have a variety of
sample code from which they can build their own applications.
Cost: $1,425.00 per seat

* QA/QC GIS Data
Date(s): April 30-May 1, 2007
Instructor: ESRI
Overview: Data is the foundation of every successful GIS. To ensure a reliable foundation for their GIS, organizations should have a well-designed quality assurance (QA) plan and quality control (QC) procedures integrated with the generation and maintenance of GIS data. This course covers errors and quality in GIS data and provides practical guidelines for creating a complete QA plan. Students learn techniques for evaluating and verifying data quality. Using ArcGIS Desktop and GIS Data ReViewer, QC tools and workflows are presented with an eye toward ever-improving technology.
Cost: $900.00 per seat

Date(s): March 5-7, 2007
Instructor: ESRI
Overview: Building on the skills and knowledge taught in Introduction to Geoprocessing Scripts Using Python, this course teaches intermediate to advanced Python scripting techniques for the ArcGIS geoprocessing framework. Students begin by refining their Python scripting skills as they manipulate several key data types and create effective, reusable code. Students then apply these skills to execute custom geoprocessing functionality. The course covers how to incorporate Python scripts into the ModelBuilder environment and prepares students to leverage the full capabilities of Python scripting within the ArcGIS geoprocessing framework.
