Used Book in Good Condition
In my intro GIS class, we used this book. It is friendly to learning the basics of the program and some geoprocessing.
In the next class, we moved to this one, which overlaps some and expands more on the geoprocessing bit.
Each book comes with a 6 month license for ArcMap 10.0.
Do you know if you like GIS? Why don’t you get this book and do all the excercises and see if it’s something you could get into.
I'm in my last class finishing up my certificate through Penn State. One thing I can tell you is put all your class projects into an online portfolio. I didn't do that so I will have to go back track and put them all up.
I have no background in GIS and started the program out of genuine interest. The program was well worth the money but since I have no prior experience it was kind of a GIS intro/immersion program. Basically I wouldn't apply to GIS jobs based on my certificate alone. Because of this I plan on studying on my own using ESRI's books to reinforce what I learned through Penn State . Again, I plan on posting the associated projects from these books into an online portfolio.
Current books I will be going through:

Thanks! I have a student license, I've been working my way throught the GIS Tutorial Series and will be getting Python Scripting for ArcGIS. Do you have any recommendations for any other books in perticular? Personal projects sound like a great option too.
