GIS

I just finished 'advanced GIS' in uni. I pretty much know how to use ArcGIS when provided with the datasets that I would need, however I'll probably never use it again. I found it to be a very interesting and useful resource. If you are trying to learn it you'll need to find case study exercises with the datasets given, as it is really complicated and time consuming to make your own data, not to mention expensive.
 
Have worked with/alongside GIS teams in my last and current job.

Last place used old Intergraph Framme software, and the GIS chap at my current place used to work for Intergraph.

does that mean you are busy recovering leeds data? I hear its going well !!
 
Did a bit of work on one when I was on an Rural Payments Agency project - mostly learnt as we went along.
 
I work with ESRI stuff on a daily on a basis. It's a frustrating experience at times, anything post v9 seems to be very buggy to me, particularly the desktop software. The only thing that seems to run reliably is ArcSDE 9.2 using Oracle 10g on a Solaris box.

I'm looking at ArcGIS Server at the moment to replace our ArcIMS map services.
 
Did geography with GIS at uni and yes GIS was hella boring! ZzzzZzzZZZzzzzz The guys who changed from geography to full time GIS were the most stereotypical egotiscal angry ugly smelly nerds I have ever seen!!!

Constantly giving me all the lamest grief like "hahaha you have to do exams and we don't" "we will get paid 3x more than you at ordance survey" "those that can't teach".

Well last I know actually got the job I wanted and they did not, think they still doing retail :)
