Introduction to ArcGIS Server
Overview
ArcGIS Server provides a complete server-based GIS system that supports the use of centrally managed spatial data for mapping and analysis. This course introduces ArcGIS Server and teaches a workflow for creating and sharing GIS maps, globes, and tools. You learn how to publish maps, globes, and geoprocessing models that are optimized for performance and how to create out-of-the-box Web applications using ArcGIS Server Manager. The course covers using GIS services in both Web applications and ArcGIS Explorer. Installation and some configuration techniques for ArcGIS Server are also covered, but administration is not the focus of this course.
