SQL 2005 ArcSDE Database Management Cost $450.00. Instructor Brian Besier. Class size:20The ArcSDE Geodatabse Management for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 teaches students to install, configure and manage an ArcSDE enterprise geodatabase using Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Topics covered include:
ArcSDE installation: Single database vs Multi-database storage models; Installing ArcSDE; Exploring ArcSDE system tables.
Security: Creating users and assigning privileges; use of database roles to manage users
Data loading: Creating vector feature classes; Creating raster datasets; Examining feature class components; Customizing storage with the DBTUNE table; Creating application server and direct connections
Managing editing in an ArcSDE geodatabase: Registering feature classes as versioned; Compressing the geodatabase; Monitoring changes to the adds, deletes, and system tables.
SQL Server 2005 database maintenance plans: Discussion of various SQL Server recovery models; creation of a sample back up plan; recovery of an SQL Server database.
Spatial Analysis Cost $350.00. Instructor David Allen. Class Size: 24Spatial analysis is what distinguishes GIS from other forms of digital map representations. It’s the problem-solving aspect of GIS, whether it’s done in the viewer’s brain or worked to a full conclusion on the map. The tools seem very basic — buffers, overlays, selections — but when combined in the correct sequence and symbolized sufficiently, they can reveal things about the data that can’t be seen in a spreadsheet or chart. Spatial analysis isn’t about making new data, but making the data you have say new things.This two-day course will cover skills such as classification; assessment of quantities and densities; location analysis; change over time, location, and value comparisons; geographic distribution; statistical pattern analysis; cluster / hot spot identification; and problem solving.
Included with the price of this class are three text books that will be provided to you. These are ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis Vol 1, ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis Vol 2, and GIS Tutorial II: Spatial Analysis Workbook.
Advanced Server Class Cost $600.00. Instructor IT Nexus programmer. Class size:20 The ArcGIS Server Course will cover the Administration task including configuring ESRI Templates (http://resources.esri.com/maptemplates/index.cfm?fa=codeGallery) with your data, Caching versus Dynamic Services, publishing and configuring Geocoding Services, publishing Image Services, publishing Geoprocessing Services and configuring ArcGIS Server Security.
Day two will include an in-depth discussion of the pros and cons of available ESRI programming APIs for ArcGIS Server. Students will work with the .Net ADF ESRI Web Map Template, ArcGIS JavaScript API, ArcGIS Flex API, and ArcGIS Silverlight/WPF environments to create sample applications.

GIS Program Management Cost $30.00. Class Size: 45. Instructor Peter CroswellToday, most government organizations have some type of GIS programs in place. They vary from being in their early stages, to rebuilding or tuning up phase, to completely being changed as new technologies and applications emerge. This workshop is designed to provide guidelines for managing your GIS program. It will look at the various organizational and technical issues program managers must address in order to develop a successful GIS program. The discussions will include managing all aspects of a GIS program from staffing and budgeting to procuring technology and working with vendors. A variety of real world examples will be presented showing a range of GIS programs and their implementations. This workshop presents an overview of successful and unsuccessful techniques for implementing GIS. Specific topics include:
Program development Project management techniques Budgeting Staffing Sustaining program support And managing consultants and vendors
Intended Audience: GIS Program Management is a must for anyone embarking upon a GIS program, involved with a less-than-successful GIS, or who is seeking ways to improve a successful implementation.
