Geospatial Administrator training/book

Hi all,

I have a pretty simple question so I'll start with that and then go on to explain what I'm trying to do. My question is:

Is there a book out there (official or otherwise) that explains the in-and-outs of GSA for setting up GIS projects?

I have used an EnvisionCAD book before when I was brand new to BentleyMap, and I found it extremely helpful - but they don't have a book for GSA as far as I could tell. I'm trying to build a project for S-57 standard nautical data. This would include feature definitions, properties (attributes), some parent/child relationship classes, and some simple topology. I know how to do much of this in the ArcGIS world. I've tried migrating the schema using tools found elsewhere on the forums into GSA, but not all of the components migrate. I'd like to build the schema from scratch so I can learn how all of this works. I've read through the help menus and forums for answers, but the help menus are pretty light. If there was a book that went into more details about what exactly each thing in the GSA gui actually is, I should be able to proceed testing. I really don't want to do this in ArcMap with all of its bugs, crashes, and performance problems. Ideally, I'd like to be able to update a nautical S-57 ENC and a traditional (currently raster) chart in the same program at the same time. I've chosen to try to accomplish this in BentleyMap, rather than ArcMap, for many reasons. Note that Change Request # 146202 has been issued for S-57 Nautical ENC.

 

Thanks for any input,

 

Joel
