Programming with ArcObjects

I have been doing some light programming in GIS for about two years now.  I had figured out how to download various scripts and VBA code snippets and piece them together to preform various tasks.  By doing this, I was beginning to pick up some basic concepts in the Visual Basic for Applications environment.

I recently pick up this book, Getting to Know ArcObjects.  It was really helpful.  It has helped me to understand VBA a lot more.  It covers various applications including customizing ArcDesktop, Creating Forms, Automating Page Layouts, Creating UIControlButtons, Automating Labels and Symbology and so much more.  The chapters are layed out with instructive text and then a hands on tutorial.

Once I got this book, I worked through it in 5 days.  If you have been wanting to learn more about programming in GIS then this is the book for you.  Check it out today!
