AU

  • It was a busy first day of AU 2008, for me, at least: after internal meetings - and the AU keynote - in the morning, I participated in the "AutoCAD APIs - Meet the Experts" panel session this afternoon, and then attended a number of events in the evening, one of which was the AU […]

  • After all, I arrived safely in Las Vegas, only a few hours late - people travelling in any later were apparently not all so lucky - so I managed to attend our ADN Developer Day here, today. In the queue for the evening's party I managed to take a quick video of some members of […]

  • It looked like the perfect trip across to AU: the train connection was good, so even though I had a 9am flight from Geneva to Newark I could leave my house at 6am and still make it (even after dinner at friends' the night before, but that's another story). The flight itself went well: I'd […]

  • There's just one week to go before this year's Autodesk University. If you need more accuracy than this Shaan's here to help. ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm going to be pretty busy with last-minute (well, last-week) preparation for the event, but will try to post the odd item of interest. For those of you who won't be in […]

  • This post continues on from Part 1 of this series. You'll find much of this content has been used before in these previous posts, although post does include content updated for F# 1.9.6.2 (the September 2008 CTP). The first thing we need to do is โ€“ as with any AutoCAD .NET project โ€“ add project […]

  • AU Unplugged is the unconference component of Autodesk University. The sessions have been submitted and the voting is now on: based on external feedback the event organizers will schedule the most interesting classes at this year's event. Last year I held a poorly publicized (and therefore poorly attended ๐Ÿ™‚ session on comparative AutoCAD development tools/technologies, […]

  • As mentioned in my previous post, I've been beavering away on the handout for a new class I'm delivering at this year's Autodesk University. Here is the first part of this handout. Introduction F# is a new programming language from Microsoft, due to become a first-class .NET citizen (joining its siblings C# and VB.NET) and […]

  • This year's AU is coming up quickly... as I mentioned in this earlier post, we have a number of sessions lined up for developers, in addition to a wealth of interesting sessions in the Customization & Programming track. If you'd like to see the various sessions in the Developer track, click here. Here are specific […]

  • The class schedule for Autodesk University 2008 has been published on Joseph Wurcher's BLAUG. Here are this year's Developer Track sessions (although they may end up being categorized under "Customization & Programming", along with a host of other interesting classes from external presenters). You'll see a number of speakers listed, both from my team (DevTech) […]

  • The organizers of AU are asking people to vote on the sessions they'd most like to attend at this year's conference. The sessions being presented by my team are not part of that list, so here they are, in case any of you completing the survey were wondering about them. I should mention that at […]
