SCAUG Members ESRI Press Publication


Congratulations are in order for long-time SCAUG member David W. Allen, GISP for his ESRI Press publication GIS Tutorial II: Spatial Analysis Workbook which was released this summer. The book offers hands-on exercises to help GIS users at the intermediate level continue to build their problem-solving and analysis skills in various spatial analysis methods, including classification; assessment of quantities and densities; location analysis; change over time, location, and value comparisons; geographic distribution; pattern analysis; and cluster identification. GIS Tutorial II: Spatial Analysis Workbook includes a fully functioning 180-day trial version of ArcGIS® Desktop 9.3 software on DVD and a DVD of data for working through the exercises.
David W. Allen, GISP is the GIS manager for the City of Euless, Texas, where he designs data structures and custom applications from scratch. He has used his knowledge of GIS as an instructor at Tarrant County College for the past eight years, during which time he assisted in the development of a GIS degree program, and worked to establish a state standard for GIS degree programs in Texas. Additionally, he has volunteered his time and GIS/GPS expertise collecting data for the Columbia Shuttle recovery, training the Mississippi State University School of Architecture to assist in Hurricane Katrina cleanup efforts, and designing a database for the Green Belt Movement in Nairobi, Kenya.
