Hey Group,
Happy New Year. I wanted to get the word about a new class were
offering: The GIS Essentials™ Workshop.

versions include a tele-class (which can be taken from anywhere) and a
live one day workshop (offered in various locations).
GIS Essentials™ Workshop - Live One Day Class

Tulsa, OKC, Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas
This basic one-day workshop is designed to teach essential GIS
(Geographic Information System) skills as indicated by a survey of 500
GIS professionals, as well as input from several thousand GIS
practitioners. Staff from government agencies, non-profits and

author of the book The GIS 20: Essential Skills published by ESRI Press,
will teach these workshops.
Audience: Anyone interested in learning the essentials of ArcGIS 10.

included with the price of the registration. The GIS 20 is a focused
workbook that demonstrates how to perform the most frequently utilized
twenty essential GIS skills. The skills were indicated by 500 GIS
practitioners through a survey, as well as through questions, projects
and suggestions from 15,000 GIS students over the past decade. This book
can be treated as a weekly self-assignment or an as-needed reference
making it useful for the professional practitioner, the teacher and
student. Each chapter offers clear steps, written in plain language,
that illustrate exactly how to complete the presented essential skill
exercise. In addition, the book helps beginners and non-native English
