Introduction to ArcView
This two-day course
provides a conceptual overview and hands-on experience using ArcView GIS 3.x
software. It teaches basic ArcView GIS functionality and enables
participants to quickly take advantage of the software's powerful display
and analysis capabilities. Attendees are introduced to the ArcView GIS
GUI and use ArcView GIS to create, edit, display, query, and analyze
geographic and tabular data and create presentation quality maps and charts.
Introduction to Avenue
Course provides the
skills and knowledge needed to use the OOP language, Avenue, to customize
the ArcView GIS 3.x GUI. The course employs a task-oriented approach
that gives participants the tools they need to become proficient users.
Class attendees learn how to use the Customize dialog box and Avenue scripts
to create a new customized interface. They write their own scripts to
perform different tasks in all areas of GIS implementation.
Participants also will create, display, and query information and print
hardcopy maps.
Introduction to ArcGIS I
Apply the basics of
ArcGIS and build the foundation for becoming a successful ArcView, ArcEditor,
or ArcInfo user. Learn how to use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox and
