Description
The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and ArcGIS Desktop 10.1 or 10.2 by ESRI. Over the years, I have worked with various GIS lessons, tutorials and how-to books, websites, and other resources. This book is a compilation of all the various “best practices” that I have learned. My goal is to help those new to GIS and ArcGIS to develop a solid foundation upon which to build. Topics Covered: Chapter 1 – Introduction Chapter 2 – The GIS Workspace Chapter 3 – Project Management and GIS Chapter 4 – Displaying Spatial Data Chapter 5 – Selecting Features Chapter 6 – Symbolizing Data Chapter 7 – Making A Layout Chapter 8 – Mid-Term Exercise 1 Chapter 9 – Using Attribute Data Chapter 10 – Creating and Editing Data Chapter 11 – Coordinate system and Projection Chapter 12 – Geoprocessing Chapter 13 – Final Exercise
