This course examines the scientific methods used to derive useful information from spatial data. A companion to the book Geographic Information Systems and Science, Third Edition published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd, the course is designed to complement this book and reinforce its concepts through exercises and examples. You will explore GIS theory related to the visualization, measurement, transformation, and optimization of spatial data. An underlying theme that uncertainty is an inherent characteristic of spatial data is thoroughly examined and you will learn how to identify it, measure it, and live with it.El curso consta de:
Should you learn programming? Yes -- It's never an unwise move to become more technically literate.
Which language is more like a religious question. I'm fluent in over a dozen languages, and have dabbled in a dozen more, yet I'm still not available to work projects in yet another dozen languages. I'd recommend getting solid understanding in at least one object-oriented language (Java, C#, C++, Python), plus one non-OO language (like 'C' and the dozens of scripting languages), plus SQL, and the various flavors of data representation (especially XML).
"On September 24th, Dr. Jane Goodall bestowed the 2011 Global Leadership Awards, named in her honor, to those that have most impacted the field of conservation science including The Walt Disney Company, musician Dave Matthews, U.S. Rep. George Miller (CA-7) and Jack Dangermond.For those active in the field of conservation science, many of the awardees might be household names, with the possible exception of Dangermond, who tends to keep a low profile. But Dangermond's quiet background belies his impact on the environment. In 2009, he entered the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans. But wealth didn't earn him this award, instead he earned it from decades of involvement in preserving and protecting the environment using technology he developed at Esri, a company he founded with his wife Laura of 40 years. The son of immigrants, Dangermond's passion for environmental stewardship started when he was 16 years old in his family's landscaping business."El artículo de huffingtonpost es este.

(..)"Given the impact of GIS technology on humankind, and Esri's important role in promoting its use, could an even bigger validation for Dangermond's work be that far off like a Nobel Prize? This remains to be seen, but in announcing a project partnership with Goodall this past August, Dangermond described his and Goodall's mutual "deep belief in the interconnectedness of all things, which obligates humankind to protect and conserve the environment." Technology and especially, social media, continues to make the world a smaller place but important pioneers in the field of GIS technology, like Dangermond, may in fact make the world a more sustainable place to live."

The File Geodatabase API provides a non-ArcObjects based means by which advanced developers can work with File Geodatabases. A common user scenario is to open File Geodatabase tables in non-ESRI applications to view or modify data. This API provides access to the low-level File Geodatabase file I/O modules.¿Significa eso el fin del formato shapefile como estandar?
The C++ API allows developers to:
• Create new geodatabases
• Read the schema of the geodatabase
• Create schema for objects within the simple feature model
• Read and write data in the geodatabase
• Perform attribute and (limited) spatial queries on datasets
This API is targeted for advanced developers who require access to the File Geodatabase without an ArcObjects license for purposes of interoperability.
This API does not replace ArcObjects as the recommended approach to interacting with the geodatabase.
