Pre-Conference Training Offered at SWUG

ArcGIS Desktop III: GIS Workflows and Analysis
Understanding how and when to apply ArcGIS tools and functions is the key to creating an efficient GIS workflow. Building on the skills and knowledge taught in ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and Functionality, this course showed how to apply ArcGIS tools in a workflow context with a focus on working with data stored in a geodatabase and performing geoprocessing and analysis. In the course exercises, attendees organized and edited data stored in a geodatabase, prepared data for analysis, created and edited geoprocessing models using ModelBuilder, and worked through a challenging analysis project.

Introduction to ArcGIS Server
ArcGIS Server provides a complete server-based GIS system that supports the use of centrally managed spatial data for mapping and analysis. This course introduced ArcGIS Server and taught a workflow for creating and sharing GIS maps, globes, and tools. Attendees learned how to publish maps, globes, and geoprocessing models that are optimized for performance and how to create out-of-the-box Web applications using ArcGIS Server Manager. The course covered using GIS services in both Web applications and ArcGIS Explorer. Installation and some configuration techniques for ArcGIS Server were also covered, but administration was not the focus of this course. This course was designed for those new to ArcGIS Server who wanted to learn about its architecture, capabilities, and client applications. This course provided foundational ArcGIS Server knowledge and skills. For more course information, click here.

ArcPad 8 for Mobile GIS
The one-day workshop focused on taking GIS from the office to the field using new technologies from Trimble and ESRI. We focused on ESRI ArcPad 8 software and the ArcPad Data Manager and Trimble GPS Analyst extensions for ArcGIS. The workshop featured the latest in field data collection technologies including the 360B laser rangefinder and 500SE GPS camera. Participants also gained valuable hands on experience during a two-hour field session.

$250.00

Geodesy and GIS
This course dealt specifically with bringing two worlds together: on the one side there is the geodesy/survey world with projections and datums, and on the other there is the need to load/use data in GIS. Very often, things “just don’t fit”. Much too often training for GIS and CAD software is available, but training in the basic principles of geodesy is hard to reach. This course demonstrated those principles and strengthened attendee's professional judgment in a clear and easy-to-follow manner in a classroom setting. The course consisted of three four-hour sessions (Geodesy Review 1, Geodesy Review 2, Rectangular Survey System and GIS) that progressively introduced relevant topics. For more course information, click here.
