ArcObjects and ESRI... pathways...

Click this link: http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.1/ It has useful info on ArcObjects and sample codes... something like a GIS version of MSDN. I use this site a lot to get reference for codes/classes/methods and also to reference the ArcObjects model.

Read these chapters in the above link to better understand:

A. Explains overall what is ArcObjects - these are collections of classes that implements ArcGIS.

B. If you want to customise ArcView, ArcEditor or ArcInfo Desktop desktop/workstation software or integrate with your existing applications this chapter explains the overview.
Click >Developing With ArcGIS>Application Development Options>Customizing ArcGIS Desktop Applications Click >ArcGIS Engine

C. If you want to develop your own standalone GIS application, nothing to do with our existing sofware suites... you can use these classes and create your own.

In the 1840s Abraham Solomon concentrated on painting literary and domestic genre scenes. From the 1850s, however, he turned to contemporary subject-matter, and it was this picture which established his reputation. With a carefully sustained mood of suspense and uncertainty, Solomon makes his audience speculate about the outcome of the trial. A writer for the Atheneaeum described the scene: ‘An old country man, the father, bows and sways with grief, while the wife weeps in the pangs and agony of despairing suspense. The unconscious child playing at her side heightens the pathos.’
