Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8) provides the fundamental ArcGIS knowledge and experience needed to enroll in Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8) as well as several other ESRI courses. Many of the topics covered in this course are similar to those in What's New in ArcInfo 8 and Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 8. Attendees who complete this course should not enroll in What's New in ArcInfo 8 or Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 8.
Students who have worked with ArcInfo prior to version 8 and want to learn about the new applications in ArcInfo should take What's New in ArcInfo 8. Students who have worked with prior versions of ArcView GIS and want to learn about ArcView 8 applications should take Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 8.
