ArcGIS Development with C#: Beginner Level

This is the second in a bundle of 4 courses, which are dedicated to working with ArcGIS software through the C# programming language. In this course, you will learn fundamental skills that are unique to ArcObjects (the core of ArcGIS). More specifically you will learn what ArcObjects is and how you can access it via programming. In addition, you will learn to read the Object Model Diagram using a notation called UML (Unified Modelling Language).
The above-mentioned tasks are highly important for any ArcGIS developer and without learning them by heart you cannot go far in ArcGIS development.
The rest of the course is about creating Add-Ins in code for performing common tasks in ArcGIS. With these skills, you can perform any tasks of an ArcGIS expert using programming in a more effective way that saves time.
Learning fundamental skills for ArcObjects (especially reading the Object Model Diagrams) does take time. But e-learning is ideal for learning skills for an ArcGIS developer as you have the flexibility to repeat each part of the course until you are confident with each of the key concepts, terms, and best practices.
We strongly recommend that you watch the presentations a number of times and take the opportunity to pause the presentations so that you can digest the concepts as well as code samples that are shown. We also advise that you complete each programming exercise, again multiple times as this provides a valuable hands-on aspect to your learning and consolidation.
