JUNIPER GIS CLASSES FOR ArcGIS
Working with ArcGIS for Planning & Service Industries – Designed for GIS users who work with city & county planning and parcel information; including, schools, realtors, utility companies, emergency operations, parks, developers and other service industries. This class includes scenarios related to zoning, land values, park locations, golf courses, and student addressing. Exercises use data from Portland Metro’s Data Resource Center, 2000 Census data, and local school data.

Working with ArcGIS for Natural Resources for ArcGIS 9.0 - Designed for GIS users with natural resource interests, this class includes timber management and wildlife scenarios. Exercises use data about timber sales, fuels, vegetation, streams and owl habitat from the Siuslaw National Forest, the Wenatchee National Forest and the Florida Panther Wildlife Refuge.
Both of these 3-day classes are appropriate for new GIS users and experienced GIS users new to the ArcGIS platform. They teach the core functionality of ArcGIS and introduce advanced topics. They include the following GIS concepts, tools & functions:
- Using ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox
- Working with layers, data frames, & maps
- Editing data & managing edit sessions
- Creating layouts in ArcMap
- Creating graphs and reports
- Creating & using layer symbology in ArcMap
- Labeling features, working with annotation
- Projecting data between coordinate systems
- Working with Routes and XY events
- Managing and editing tables
- Selecting and querying features
- Accessing Excel and Access tables
- Spatial analysis tools
- Using personal geodatabases
- Georeferencing images
- Working with metadata
- Working with the Geoprocessing environment

Introduction to Spatial Analyst for ArcGIS 9.0 – This 2-day course introduces participants to the Spatial Analyst extension by working through several projects, including a solar siting analysis and a project to determine wildland fire hazard zones. A third project explores the process of analyzing water tables and the impact of irrigation, providing an opportunity to look at the Hydrology sample provided for ArcGIS.
- Understanding raster GIS
- Interpolating surfaces from different types of data
- Using DEM elevation files
- Using Map Algebra for spatial analysis
- Using the Raster Calculator
- Analysis properties & commands
- Distance, Viewshed & Proximity Grids
- Using GRID commands
- Hydrology in ArcGIS
- Using the ModelBuilder

Introduction to Geodatabases for ArcGIS 9.0 - This 2 day course will teach participants how to design, create and manage geodatabases. The class concentrates on the geodatabase structure and tools, including topology, networks, subtypes and domains, for creating and editing data while maintaining data integrity. It provides a solid foundation for future development into SDE. The projects in this class also demonstrate many of the new advanced editing tools available in ArcGIS and the final project introduces Linear Referencing with streams.
- Migrating data to the geodatabase
- Creating & editing topology
- Spatial reference in the geodatabase
- Validating attributes
- Using subtypes and domains
- Geometric networks
- Advanced Editing tools
- Linear Referencing

Fast Tracking ArcGIS for Natural Resources - A 2-day course for experienced GIS users. This class is based on our three-day ArcGIS for Natural Resources course, but is “fast tracked” to meet the pace of experienced GIS users. The class will use the same data and core exercises as the standard class, but will skip over some sections and consolidate others, so that experienced users will have the opportunity to focus on the new features in ArcGIS 9 or advanced features they may not have had time to explore indepth.
- Event themes/”tabular-spatial” data
- Using layer files and templates
- Working with labels
- Geodatabase annotation
- Geoprocessing & analysis
- Introduction to Modelbuilder
- Introduction to Python scripts
- Working with edit tools
- Route events
- Georeferencing
- External databases

ESRI-AUTHORIZED CLASSES
 John Schaeffer is the lead ESRI Authorized Instructor for Juniper GIS. These ESRI authorized classes are the same classes offered throughout ESRI sites nationwide, and include a course manual and exercise manual developed by ESRI, along with an evaluation copy of ArcGIS .
Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo), 2 days – This class is designed for users new to geographic information systems (GIS). It introduces GIS terminology and provides an overview of ArcGIS. This class teaches the basic tools of ArcGIS including:
- GIS functions
- Overview of ArcGIS
- ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox
- Layers, data frames, and maps
- Layer symbology in ArcMap
- Labeling features
- Introducing feature classes
- Table manipulation
- Creating graphs & reports
- Managing edit sessions
- Working with georeferenced data
- Creating maps in ArcMap

Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo), 3 days - This course further explores ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox. Users focus on geodatabases, spatial analysis, automation of spatial and attribute data, editing, and advanced options for cartographic display and reports. Exercises teach ArcGIS procedures in the context of solving real-world problems, using data from a variety of disciplines. A portion of the class is reserved for carrying out an analysis project and applying many of the new skills and techniques learned in this course. Participants conduct queries, perform spatial analysis, and present their results in a map layout, chart and report.
- Perform spatial analysis
- Manage geographic data
- Perform geocoding
- Display points and lines from event tables
- Convert data from other formats
- Edit spatial and attribute data
- Create and use metadata
- Produce high-quality maps and reports

Introduction to Programming ArcObjects with VBA , 5 days - Learn the fundamentals of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) application development and the specifics of working with ArcObjects™. This course employs hands-on programming exercises to create usable code for many typical GIS programming tasks using the most commonly used ArcObjects classes. Participants learn to use VBA development tools including the Visual Basic (VBA) Editor, customize dialog box, and online help resources. Upon finishing the course, participants will have plenty of sample code from which they can build their own applications.
- VB language fundamentals
- Object Orient Programming concepts
- Advantages of COM
- Reading Object Model Diagrams
- Accessing, creating and editing data sets
- Creating, displaying & storing geometry
- Symbology and layer rendering
- Programmatically formatting a map layout
- Creating tools
- Programming ArcObjects events
Participants in this class must meet prerequisites.
