Arc2Google is now Certified for ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.1

Hey guys,

I get a lot of emails thanking me for Arc2Google, I'm really happy to see GIS users and students really benefiting from this tool and I'm glad that I wrote it!

One more thing, you have been asking me for a while to upgrade Arc2Google to support 10.2 and 10.2.1. It is finally up, and the good news is the new version 10.x.x.1 is supported and certified for all the 10.x versions, 10.0 SP5, 10.1 SP1, 10.2 and 10.2.1

My new title: Learning ArcGIS Geodatabase Book, Stay tuned!

Last year I have released my first GIS book to the public with the help of Packt, a great British Publisher. It took me around a year to write, and it was a wonderful journey.

Currently, I have been working again with Pact for few months on a new title on ArcGIS Geodatabses. I am tailoring this one specially for students as I have been received some feedback (thanks alot guys) that Adminstering ArcGIS for Server was a bit advanced for GIS students and doesn't include basic features. Learning ArcGIS Geodatabases will be designed for those who want to start using ArcGIS technology or have been using it and want to learn more about geodatabases.

By contract I cannot exactly release the outline to you guys, however I can assure you that the title will include Creating,  Modeling, Optimizing and even programming geodatabases. I will also include a dedicated chapter for enterprise geodatabases and how you can setup yours from scratch. All these are with complete workable examples, supporting files and exercises. It is going to be fun!

Stay tuned! I am hoping to release it before the end of 2014.
