Authoring and Serving ArcGIS Mobile Projects

This course teaches a recommended workflow for successfully creating and deploying an out-of-the-box ArcGIS Mobile project. By starting at the planning phase and working all the way through the project deployment process, you learn how to adapt existing data, maps, and GIS workflows to the mobile environment. In course exercises, you work with a mobile device emulator to author, test, and deploy a mobile project. This course does not cover the ArcGIS Mobile software development kit (SDK).

This course is designed for GIS analysts and other experienced ArcGIS users who want to deploy mobile GIS projects using out-of-the-box ArcGIS Mobile functionality. Developers who want to understand core ArcGIS Mobile functionality will also benefit from the course.
