Learning Path: ArcGIS: Cross-Platform Apps with ArcGIS 4.x

ArcGIS Server is the leading software for developing both web and mobile GIS applications. ArcGIS provides a scalable framework for implementing GIS solutions for a single user or many users on desktops, in servers, over the web, and in the field. If you're interested to develop custom applications with ArcGIS Server using geographical data analysis and mapping, then go for this Learning Path.

Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

The highlights of this Learning Path are:

• Develop ArcGIS Server applications with JavaScript, both for traditional web browsers as well as the mobile platform
• Real-world, practical content that wraps your head around the essential know-how on using ArcGIS for geographical data analysis and visualization
• Integrate ArcGIS content into your custom applications and perform analytics with the new built-in tool
• Make your maps informative with intuitive geographic layers, user interface widgets, and more

Let’s take a quick look at your learning journey. In this Learning Path, you will be introduced to mapping in geomatics with the help of ArcGIS. You will start off by learning how to set up the ArcGIS Desktop Suite, and learn how to do some basic data exploration. After that, you will delve into managing data and extracting it from different file forms to be used for visualization in ArcGIS. You will be shown how to import data from different files in ArcMap, join them to existing spatial data, and then finally visualize the results. Next, you will learn how to properly visualize data for communicating your GIS-based analysis. You will delve into core-cartographic principles and also basic functionality for map-making in ArcGIS. You will also learn how to work with 3D maps, perform client-side analysis and visualizations. Geocoding and geoprocessing tasks are covered in-depth to help you accomplish your task in GIS. Finally, you will learn to integrate ArcGIS. com content into your custom developed applications by building a complete app.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will have a solid understanding of ArcGIS Server and be able to build exciting custom web and mobile GIS applications with it.
