Just a quick post to finish up the week: over on ProgrammableWeb, there's a nice article talking about the new ReCap Photo Web API and how a number of developers are making use of it to drive interesting new categories of application, such as products creating designs for custom hearing aids or automating the 4D […]

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 Autodesk Technical Summit is an annual, internal, 2-day technical conference for members of Autodesk's engineering staff. I've been lucky enough to attend since 2011 (the first was held in 2010), and have seen the event grow both in breadth and attendance, over the years: this year there were 500 attendees from around the world […]

My good friend and colleague, Christer Janson, was named 123D's Maker of the Day a couple of weeks ago. This post is to congratulate Christer but also to talk about Christer's background at Autodesk and the key role he plays in the AutoCAD team. I met Christer during the second round interview for my first […]

After a minor technical glitch, I've now been able to submit two class proposals for Autodesk University 2014. Both are currently planned as 90-minute lectures. The first is about AutoCAD's JavaScript API: Connect AutoCAD to the web with HTML5 and JavaScript AutoCAD 2015's JavaScript API enables a whole new generation of web-enabled applications.

It's Good Friday, so much of the world will be offline today, but I thought I'd post quickly on some (good) news that may be of interest to people. The ReCap team has officially launched a new partner program. This provides access to a number of mechanisms for integrating with or harnessing Autodesk ReCap products […]
