ArcGIS for server online training ??

[DEAF_PROBERT_68]

Hello, I am interesting learning how to use ArcGIS for Server with 10.1   How can I learn about it and practice with it ?  I am aware that ESRI offers it for led-courses however they are too expensive .

I am looking for that in an online training .

I forgot that I am deaf and would like to have them in subtitles or closed captioned as well.

Thanks.

Have you considered a book like Administering ArcGIS Server: Administering ArcGIS for Server: Hussein Nasser: 9781782177364: Amazon.com: Books

or if you want to develop apps: Building Web and Mobile ArcGIS Server Applications with JavaScript: Eric Pimpler: 9781849697965: Ama...

if you want step by step instructions on Python: Python Scripting for ArcGIS: Paul A. Zandbergen: 9781589482821: Amazon.com: Books

and last for ModelBuilder: Getting to Know ArcGIS ModelBuilder: David W. Allen: 9781589482555: Amazon.com: Books

These could be more affordable routes.

Also you could take an ArcGIS Server online such as: Esri Training | ArcGIS for Server: Site Configuration and Administration

Most of Esri's classes that are instructor led are also offered online and instructor led so you just have to pay for the class only.

What is the first step when you learn ArcGIS for server ? Are there any routes from the beginning to the end ?

[ChrisSergent]

That depends on your knowledge what you have and what you need to do. Do you have ArcGIS Server installed?

What are you wanting to accomplish with it? Develop apps? Administer?

Chris,

Thanks for replying.. I don't know. I was talking to this BLM GIS friend I went to see one day and he told me if you want to get into BLM  ArcGIS for server is a much but he doesnt have an answer for me on where to start to learn first.....

What does BLM stand for? I don't want to make assumptions with acronyms.

Bureau of Land Management   It is a US Government agency. I work for NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Resources). We just happened to met at a GIS USER Group at the University.

Are you new to ArcGIS as a whole? If so, you might want to start with the basics. This is a good book to start with: Esri Press | Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop, Second Edition, Updated for ArcGIS 10 |

You get a copy of ArcGIS Desktop for 180 day trial while working through the book and it is step by step.

If not what is your current knowledge?

I am expert with ArcGIS 10.1 Desktop.  Do  i need to request a separate DVD for the ArcGIS for Server 10.1 ?
