AU

Robots have been on my mind quite a bit, lately. They were everywhere at last month's Autodesk University, for instance, whether the 3D scanning robot wandering around the conference – and even showing up at the Blogger's Social – Bot & Dolly's impressively choreographed robot at the opening keynote or LEGO Mindstorms in the Exhibit […]

Here's a fun one that came up as a question during the recently "AutoCAD APIs: Meet the Experts" session at Autodesk University. I promised during the session that I'd address it in a blog post this week, so here we are. But I'm splitting the post into two parts, so the more complete solution will […]

I've been sick in bed since returning from AU2013 – the fever I experienced on Thursday morning, before travelling home in the evening, was apparently due to bacterial bronchitis, and I've been coughing really badly over the last few days. At least the fever has passed, but I did have to cancel my plans to […]

I'm sitting in Heathrow Terminal 5, waiting for my connecting flight to Geneva. A good time to reflect back on another intense week at Autodesk University. I arrived in Las Vegas for this year's AU last Saturday evening, flying via the UK on a flight that seemed full with AU attendees (even if Autodesk employees […]

I was planning to post about Autodesk University 2013 today, but things have just been too hectic. I have a 3-hour layover in Heathrow on the journey home – which starts this evening – so I'll try to use that to post a summary of this year's AU as experienced by yours truly. In the […]

I was hoping to get the Kinect for Windows 2.0 pre-release developer kit in time for AU – so I can talk about it intelligently, even if I don't end up demoing it – so when the UPS delivery man showed up, yesterday, I was very happy. As always, it started with a simple box: […]

For those of you unable to attend AU 2013 in person, the keynote sessions and a small number of this year's classes will be streamed live. And they're free to attend: you just need to be registered with AU Online. I'm lucky to be presenting one of only 11 classes that are scheduled to be […]

Over the weekend I managed to complete the BerkeleyX Foundations of Computer Graphics class. This was really an excellent class, both in terms of the structure of the lectures and the homework assignments, which actually scaled in a non-linear way (the last assignment took as much time to complete as the previous three combined). But […]

I've been involved at some level in Autodesk's annual Developer Days tours for as long as they've been happening (at least in a coordinated, worldwide fashion), although for the last few years it's been purely as an attendee (and last year only in Las Vegas). This is the first year I can remember the event […]

As Labor Day passes and the summer draws to a close, it's time to start thinking about Autodesk University. The AU team clearly knows this (they themselves have been thinking about the event since before AU 2012, so this is more for the rest of us 😉 and so they've gone ahead and posted a […]
