Autodesk App Store
-
Some months ago I received a question from a developer about the Autodesk App Store: he questioned whether it was worth investing the effort of placing his product there. While this is clearly something that people have to decide for themselves, the numbers are certainly indicating it's valuable: the App Store team tells me they've […]

If you're working in the BIM space and are thinking about developing a cloud-based application that works with BIM 360 and Forge, there's an online hackathon that may be of interest to you. In fact it may well be of interest even if you're not thinking of building such an app in the immediate future: […]

Hot on the heels of our own, internal Hackathon (although, strictly speaking, this one started before it) there's another external Hackathon running until the end of October. This one's about developing apps using Forge or Fusion 360 and submitting said apps to the Autodesk App Store. The event really has two distinct parts: A series […]

Many, many thanks for the congratulatory messages I received after my last post, whether via this blog, Twitter, LinkedIn or email. I was genuinely overwhelmed by the response! 🙂 Here's a post I've been meaning to write for some time: a common question I've seen, over the years, is about how best to implement copy […]

There's another online Hackathon in town, this time for Fusion 360. It's running from September 23 to October 30, 2015, so a reasonable period during which you can create your first Fusion 360 app using JavaScript, Python or C++. I don't know much about Fusion 360 development, but I'm looking forward to learning more during […]

There's still time to participate in the Autodesk Exchange Apps Hackathon, a virtual event taking place this weekend (September 20-21). The point of this event is to encourage developers to post apps to the Autodesk Exchange Apps store, and we're even paying cool, hard cash ($50 or $100, whether free or paid) for each app […]

After the initial Autodesk Exchange Apps Portathon was held last year, the ADN team is running a similar – but expanded – event, the Autodesk Exchange Apps Hackathon, on September 20-21. There's more information available on both Jeremy's blog and the ADN DevBlog, but here's a quick summary of the salient points: Free to attend […]

Back in May I pre-announced a couple of webinars that I thought to be of interest to readers of this blog. The first was about ReCap, the second was about posting apps to Autodesk Exchange. The ReCap webinar was actually the beginning of series: at the time of writing five have now taken place (recordings […]

A quick note to mention another webinar that's happening next Thursday, this one on Autodesk Exchange Apps. AutoCAD's (and a number of other Autodesk products', of course) very own App Store is going from strength to strength, by all accounts: it's had nearly 2 million visitors and upwards of 600,000 downloads, many of which have […]
