ESRI will soon be coming out with a new version of ArcGIS (9.2). There will be free training sessions in many U.S. cities in the next two months. For information see: http://www.esri.com/events/introducing-arcgis92/index.html.
For those of you who cannot attend these sessions, there is a free virtual campus course you can take from ESRI. No registration code is needed. See http://training.esri.com. Select the Course Catalog tab, then do a search for “ArcGIS 9.2″. You will see the self-study course “What’s New in ArcGIS Desktop at 9.2″. Follow the link for this course, then click “TRY IT NOW” under Course Purchase. You will need to log into your free ESRI Global Account to view this seminar.
