Résumé

Getting to KnowArcGIS Desktop is a workbook for learning ArcGIS Desktop, ESRI's premier geographic information system (GIS) technology. The three GIS products that comprise ArcGIS Desktop-ArcView, ArcEditor, and Arclnfo-are built on a common interface and core capability, with each product offering a different level of functionality. Users of Getting to KnowArcGIS Desktop gain a thorough understanding of ArcView, which they can put to work immediately or use as a firm foundation for learning ArcEditor and Arclnfo.

Getting to KnowArcGIS Desktop employs the teaching approach used so effectively in the other best sellers in the Getting to Know series from ESRI Press. Richly detailed illustrations and step-by-step exercises teach basic GIS tasks-from mapmaking, to spatial analysis, to database creation. Readers learn to use the software that forms the building blocks of ArcGIS: ArcMap, for displaying and querying maps, and ArcCatalog, for managing geographic data. Also included in the book are explorations of the ESRI data format, the geodatabase, which stores spatial and attribute information in a relational database.

Included with the book is a fully functioning 180-day trial version of ArcView 9 software on CD-ROM, as well as a CD of data for working through the book's exercises.

Its broad scope and hands-on presentations of GIS in real-world applications make Getting to KnowArcGIS Desktop both an ideal classroom text and an excellent workbook for those learning ArcGIS on their own. No prior knowledge of GIS software is needed, although those switching from earlier ArcView GIS products will find Getting to KnowArcGIS Desktop particularly useful.
