To do

NetCDF

Editing Parcel Fabric: Very interesting but I don't think I need it right now. There is a class of feature dataset called a "Parcel Fabric Dataset" and a set of tools for editing a fabric.

ArcPy and Python scripting

Model builder - execute

Model builder - create

DB Servers

Rasters and images

• stretch
• make a bunch of images have the same color spectrum for proper display
• find things in shadows

NA Extension

Maplex

Find a route

GeoDatabases

Geoprocessing:

Geocoding

Done!

Downloaded the tutorial data, 1.6 GB! It is in an EXE file and installs like an application. It will _only_ install to C:\arcgis\ArcTutor, no matter how politely you ask for D:\

Editing: In this tutorial, they teach you how to do some operations like buffering that IMO might best be done in a model or script so that they are repeatable. I like documented, repeatable operations, it seems lots of GIS is done in a quick and dirty style to me. Same goes for all the operations in the Geoprocessing tab in ArcMap. Those are just shortcuts to tools. YMMV; your shop may condone this style and you need it in a hurry. Then you need the same thing done again tomorrow in a big hurry. And the next day... then a month later and you can't remember what the heck you did. Clip then buffer or was it select then buffer then...??

Not sure if the section on annotation fits in the editing tutorial.

The sections on working with the Topology toolbar were interesting.

I enjoyed the sections on the Spatial Adjustment toolbar, especially the method of copying attributes. Wish I'd had that when I was working on City of Corvallis waste water updates.
