In this course, you will acquire the skills needed to share GIS content on the Web or across the enterprise. You will learn a workflow to publish maps, geoprocessing models, and geodata services and create out-of-the-box Web mapping applications using ArcGIS Server Manager. The course covers using GIS services in both Web mapping applications and ArcGIS Explorer. While administration is not the focus of this course, installation and some configuration techniques for ArcGIS Server are covered.
This course teaches foundational ArcGIS Server skills and prepares you to take the following courses:
- GIS analysts and other experienced ArcGIS Desktop users who want to share their GIS content in a Web mapping application.
- Developers who need to understand ArcGIS Server functionality in order to incorporate GIS services into custom applications.
After completing this course, you will be able to
- Author and publish map services and geoprocessing services that are optimized for performance.
- Generate a map cache to improve performance and enhance the end-user experience.
- Publish a 3D service for display in ArcGIS Explorer and other globe viewers.
- Publish a geodata service for data replication and extraction to enable access and updates to a geodatabase.
- Create a Web mapping application for editing.
- Enable access to GIS services from a variety of clients including ArcMap, ArcGIS Explorer, and Web mapping applications.
- Build a Web mapping application that combines ArcGIS Online resources with your GIS services.
