Looking for ArcGIS programming/web application programming courses-any suggestions

NavKa

Hello,

My employer is ready to pay for ArcGIS web development courses and wants me to provide them with a list of courses and expenses. Please share any info you might have on different course lines and all price ranges available. I would like to extend my python capabilities also. If anybody has any review of courses they are working on in JAVA API or any other languages used for ArcGIS web development please share your experiences and suggestions.

Thanks,

Nikki

I would second this recommendation. I found it to be a fun, face-paced, challenging course. It was a single course when I took it, but now they have broken it into two--not sure if the time frame is a little more relaxed.

Thanks everybody for your input, appreciate the time and effort!!

I would suggest that you check out this course: An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python on Coursera. Link: Coursera - Free Online Courses From Top Universities

Good luck!

As others have mentioned, the training.esri.com page has many self-paced and/or instructor led classes, as well as links to many (free) 60-minute webinars that are very topic focused and very good.

For Developer training (inexpensive and instructor led) here is a search, but you can look for others too.

Esri Training

I recommend the Python class http://training.esri.com/gateway/index.cfm?fa=catalog.courseDetail&CourseID=50131064_10.x and the JavaScript class http://training.esri.com/gateway/index.cfm?fa=catalog.courseDetail&CourseID=50133569_10.x Yes they are expensive for the number of days, but you get the workbook and can continue learning after the class.

There are other (free) videos Esri Video | Videos Covering GIS Events, Products, People, & Topics Tat are worth watching, including technical sessions from some of the Developer Summits and user conferences.

Hey Freddie,

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions really appreciate. To answer your questions

1. Yes i am working as a GIS analyst right now but i don't have GIS programming knowledge that is I mostly work with desktop mapping and data analysis.

2. I know how programming works I learnt basic Python and VB I know how databases work and some SQL

3. I haven't used any java script.

4. No i don't have any experience in web development.

5. I prefer class like environment where you start from basics and there is a flow to the course and you go step by step and all the required areas are covered. But it doesn't have to be a live class it can be recorded video class with step by step instructions and i am happy to do some reading on my own. It will be great if there is a way to get your questions answered in case i don't understand something or i am struck.

and if you can guide me what all I need to learn to be successful in web map development.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Nikki.

I have some extra questions for you.

Do you have a GIS background (i.e. do you understand GIS programming workflows)?
Do you have a programming background for any language?
Have you ever used JavaScript?
Are you familiar with web development?
What type of learning environment do you prefer? Classes where someone walks you through the materials, books where you can read the materials on your own, online videos where you can watch someone going through the materials, etc.

NavKa

Looks like yes. but where do I start?

FreddieGibson

So it sounds like you'd be interested in training for the JavaScript API. Would that be correct?

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/

NavKa

So we want to share our GIS data with the organizations for general analysis or as a resource over the web. No data editing is required just basic analysis.

So basically having different layers with point and area features and display of info as a popup when they click on particular feature and turning on and off the layers.

Thanks

FreddieGibson

What are you needing to develop?

NavKa

Yes but these are very expensive specially for the duration of training and I am really a starter do you think one should learn core JAVA before diving into GIS specific programming. What other skills would be required?

Thanks for your reply.
