Near Augusta.

Steely,

What type of development work do you do? I work at an analyst level(low).

I’m guessing web and mobile applications?

My buddy Chris used to tell me tales of a legendary Chad Lepage who worked out at Gillys. Know of him?[/quote]

Nope! He related to the Guv’nah?

I do a bit of everything. Been in mapping/GIS for about 20 years from land surveying and geologic mapping to geodesy to software and spatial database development to full scale GIS implementations. Specificly I do spatial DBA and development in the utility sector these days.

I’ve done a little mobile stuff, but not on any grand scale.

Do you work in ArcGIS?

It is amazing the number of county based GIS systems that are out there. I have worked with GIS for about 10 years now, not exclusively though. I did some research where I worked with spatial analyst and have done a lot of manipulation of parcel layers for research purposes.

Did you teach yourself DBA development? Or did you go the ESRI virtual campus or in person for training?

I work in the natural sciences, however I have consider changing teams to GIS. The pay is better…lol

Want a sandwich?[/quote]

Is that a trick question?

I don’t trust women who bite their lip.[/quote]
She’s from New England so I’m sure she’s legit[/quote]

Whether its a knuckle sandwich or a BLT, put something in their mouth and it shuts em up.

Well, aren’t you the pleasant one.

Consider me shut up, then.[/quote]

Lighten up, Francis.

“GIS Everywhere”.

I’m mostly self-taught with development, languages and the database stuff. I’ve picked up courses here and there. ESRI training is pretty good.

Absolutely. I really enjoy the challenges and analytical nature of GIS work.

What are your thoughts on GISP certification?

You’ll see it as a bullet point in ‘skills wanted’ in job ads. Personally, I’ve seen no correlation of GISP title to competence.

Appreciate the feedback. The certification looks like a huge PITA!

It has no real affilitation or meaning. It’s something hiring managers put on want ads with 100 other things that are not really worth putting on there. It’s just another key word.

“PMP” means more to a project manager, although in the last decade I’ve seen more PMP’s tank projects than not.

Having said that, the new-ish ESRI certs look promising. At least they are the result of testing and show some base competence in the technology.

The same holds true for any cert, though. The Oracle certs are expensive and I havne’t seen anyone with the cert stand out from not. Honestly, some of the most brilliant technicians I’ve worked with don’t even have degrees.

Certifications are largely a tax IMO.

I was considering one of the ESRI certs or possibly a graduate certificate in Geo-spatial technology.

If you’re moving to GA you should start hog hunting. It’s damn fun, plus the meat is good.
