Summary: ARC Macro Language Version 7.1.1
Review: A book for all beginners or experts!

Rating:
Summary: An excellent introduction to AML
Review: Comprehensive and clearly written, this book starts with the assumption that the reader has no prior programming experiance and steps through the fundamentals of aml programming using short and useful examples. It's a good mix of theory and practical application.

This book is written for the Workstation version of ArcInfo, which uses AML as its primary scripting language. It is not relevant to the ArcGIS 'Desktop' release which now uses standard COM based languages (VB,C++, etc.) for applications development.

Summary: The best book by ESRI Press for advanced GIS users
Review: This is by far the most useful book I have ever encountered published by ESRI Press! If you are still using Arc/Info from the command line, this is the book to get! Now, if ESRI would only make the documentation from their classes available for purchase ... that stuff is the best GIS software info available! Unfortunately, you have to enroll in one of their courses, which are by no means, cheap!
