Daniela C Docan
Daniela Cristiana Docan is currently a lecturer at the Department of Topography and Cadastre at the Faculty of Geodesy in Bucharest, Romania. She obtained her PhD in 2009 from the Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest, with her thesis Contributions to quality improvement of spatial data in GIS. Formerly, she worked at Esri Romania and National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI). While working for Esri Romania, she trained teams (as an authorized instructor in ArcGIS for Desktop by Esri) from state- and privately-owned companies, such as the Romanian Aeronautical Authority, the Agency of Payments and Intervention for Agriculture (APIA), and the Institute of Hydroelectric Studies and Design. She also trained and assisted the team in charge of quality data control in the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) project, in Romania. For the ANCPI, she created the logical and physical data model for the Romanian National Topographic Dataset at a scale of 1:5,000 (TOPRO5) in 2009. She was a member of the workgroup that elaborated TOPRO5 and its metadata technical specifications and the Report on the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive in Romania in 2010. Prior to this book, Daniela worked on ArcGIS for Desktop Cookbook, Packt Publishing, which covers the following topics: designing a file geodatabase schema, constraining the geometry and attribute values of the data, geocoding addresses, working with routes and events, and using spatial ETL tools.

Preface

Welcome to Learning ArcGIS for Desktop. ArcGIS for Desktop is one of the main components of Esri's ArcGIS platform, which is used to support decision making and solve various mapping problems. It contains a wide variety of tools to create, manage, analyze, map, and share spatial data.

Learning ArcGIS for Desktop starts with the computer hardware and software recommendations. Then, this book goes on to show you how to obtain and install a 60-day trial of ArcGIS for Desktop (Advanced) on Windows. The second chapter explores coordinate reference system concepts. In the next three chapters, you will learn how to create a file geodatabase and manage, create, edit, and symbolize spatial data. Then, this book focuses on planning and performing spatial analysis on vector data using geoprocessing tools and ModelBuilder. Next, you will analyze raster data using the Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst extensions. Finally, basic principles of cartography design will be used to create a professional poster map.

The book is a tutorial-based guide that will lead you through the basic concepts and functions of Esri's ArcGIS for Desktop software.
