A Complete Beginner's Guide to ArcGIS Desktop (Part 1)

Welcome to this “Complete Beginner's Guide to ArcGIS Desktop” tutorial. Through this tutorial I aim to give you guys a very in-depth understanding of the capabilities of ArcGIS Desktop if you are getting started as a beginner. ESRI’s ArcGIS has been around for quite a long time and even today, despite the competition it gets from so many other commercial and open source GIS tools, it still remains as one of the most widely used GIS software packages in so many different areas; like the health sector, transportation and navigation, water resources engineering, geological sciences, you name it!
We are going to cover quite a bit of things here in this tutorial, and we will guarantee that this will be sufficient for you to have a general understanding of the capabilities of the ArcGIS Desktop, and then of course with that head start you will be able to easily discover a lot more on your own quite comfortably.

Hey I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I needed to cram for an GIS skills test for a job after a couple years of not touching ArcGIS and the part one and two of this video were the perfect refresher and I just got the offer this week. Thank you so much for you clear and concise instructions.

[@inayaturrehman5321]

Thank you - your work has been a tremendous help in learning how to manipulate the basic tools to work with data to get a range of tasks done. Clear tutorial objectives, good modelling with precise and relevant explanations of what and how to perform various tasks with great screen capture, editing and sound quality. I appreciate the timing of contents as a quick guide too!

Thank you so much for this! I remember having a GIS module in uni but the instructor was so bad, they didnt tell us in depth info on features and basically just told us to follow a worksheet step by step!! I am now a masters graduate in environmental planning with very little confidence in GIS so I thank you for this series! Although I cant afford to spend money on the programme, I will make notes along with this series like a lecture! Thank you!
