ARC/INFO Basics,
By Kris Nackaerts (Leuven, Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding GIS: The ARC/INFO Method (PC Version) (Paperback)
This book explains the basic concepts of the ARC/INFO GIS and handles the basic functions of ARC/INFO key by key. It's begins with the data structure, digitizing process, data cleanup, till the final map composition. It's a useful starting point for dummies as well as for more experienced GIS users with no ARC/INFO experience. When you've gone through this book ARC/INFO will certainly not have given all his secrets free but their will be a light in the darkness.
