Learning Path: ArcGIS: Get Started with ArcGIS

In this Learning Path, you will look at using ArcGIS Online and building GIS applications that can be run on the ArcGIS Server.

Initially, we will have a look at the ArcGIS Online platform, and create basic maps, and then learn how to use the SmartMapping tools to explore your data and create relevant visualizations. We will also learn how to use the analysis tools to enrich data. We will learn how to share your WebMaps as embedded maps or use the provided application templates.

Later we will look at creating applications for ArcGIS Server. The ArcGIS API for JavaScript is the preferred way of developing your custom applications for ArcGIS Server since it can be used for both web and mobile application development. It's easy to use and doesn't require the use of a browser plugin.

We will learn how to work with 3D maps, perform client-side analysis, visualizations, etc. We will also learn how to use the various tasks provided by ArcGIS Server including spatial and attribute queries, identification of features, finding features by attribute, and so on. Geocoding and geoprocessing tasks are covered in-depth to help you accomplish your task in GIS.Finally.

About The Author :

Rene Rubalcava have been in the field of GIS for 15 years and using ArcGIS products for just as long. I have been building custom ArcGIS applications for the desktop and browsers for 10 years. I am currently a software engineer at Esri working on the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, and before that worked in local government and freelance work. I keep current on almost all mapping technologies, from web based mapping tools to desktop data creation tools. I am also a huge fan of functional languages such as Haskell, Elm and PureScript. I have experience in .NET using C#. Python, and some C++. I know web technology, such as CSS, HTML5, plenty of JavaScript, multiple JavaScript frameworks, libraries and Node.
