My name is John. I work with a small, local municipality in Central Florida. Im new to GIS and looking to get a solid foundation for GIS in general, as well as, ArcGIS software. What resources are recommended(books, websites, documentation)? TIA
You could start with
Esri Training: GIS Fundamentals
Esri also organizes MOOC programs. Register for these courses as well.
If you are also looking for software to learn and use for non-commercial purpose (also get access to training courses that requires maintenance), check out ArcGIS for Personal Use.
The resources Jayanata named are great. If you are really interested in making a career in GIS and you have the time and ability, you might want to consider entering a GIS Certificate program. A lot of universities are offering them now. You can shop around and find the one that is right for you.
