 | I've been discussing code a bit, and for the non-coder it will make little sense. ArcGIS, along with many other Microsoft-based software packages can be easily customized, and a lot of really cool (nerd) tools and applications can be created with only a little bit of training. There are many free resources on the internets that explain in great detail how to begin coding. I started learning Visual Basic last summer and have already released an ArcGIS toolset used by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. During that time, I saved a few bits of information that I found important to remember, so I threw together this cluttered |
PDF file as an ArcObjects Cheat Sheet (VB Reference Sheet):
- Download the VB / ArcObjects Cheat Sheet -
- Google: VB Tutorial
- ESRI offers a number of courses that introduce Visual Basic in the ArcMap environment. The full course is $145, but the first module is free - I would suggest starting here to get a quick overview of what it is about. Many colleges and universities offer these web courses for free as part of the licensing agreemets. ESRI even offers free trial versions of ArcGIS if you buy the full course
- DreamInCode.net has their own VB6 Reference sheet that I have posted next to my monitors
- Download the ArcMap Object Model diagram
- View the Getting Started with ArcObjects in ArcGIS Training Seminar video to help understand what is going on in the ArcMap Object Model; this is available for free through the ESRI Training website (requires free registration)
- Thumb through the ArcGIS Desktop VB6 Documentation
