Training

  • Just a quick reminder about the DevLabs my team is running, the first of which is being held next week in our UK office. Here's some additional information that was sent out in a recent technical newsletter for ADN members: If you don't have time to attend a training class, but you value the opportunity […]

  • I've been a bit remiss posting on our plans for this year's AU. At AU 2007 and 2008 my team organised and ran a separate Developer Track. Last year we had already hoped to fold our classes into the Customization & Programming track โ€“ mainly to avoid confusion from AU attendees - but it didn't […]

  • My team is trying out a new concept over the coming months, something we're calling DevLabs. The idea is that we schedule a period where members of my team are available in a particular Autodesk office to sit down with people working on their development projects. (The concept is new for us, at least: I […]

  • This post is a miscellaneous update on things I've put off announcing because of all the fun I've been having with AutoCAD 2010's Overrule API. First up is the AutoCAD Exchange, a new site devoted to people working with, you guessed it, AutoCAD. It's stocked with lots of useful and fun content, as well as […]

  • The recordings from our recent DevDays Online events, covering API-related information about much of the 2010 family of products, are now available: AutoCAD download (27.3 Mb) AEC download (47.5 Mb) Geospatial download (14.6 Mb) Manufacturing download (27.0 Mb) Civil 3D download (14.2 Mb) Enjoy! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Another first for my team... a few months prior to a new release of our various products we typically travel the world to tell ADN members about the new product and API features these products will (probably) contain. This year we presented to upwards of 1400 people in 21 cities around the world. Due to […]

  • This is likely to be somewhat "off-topic" for the majority of this blog's readership, but anyway, here goes. (It turns out an increasing number of traditional CAD customers are making use of adjacent visualization applications, so I'm sure there are some people out there who will find this of interest... ๐Ÿ™‚ Many of you have […]

  • MI can safely say that this was my most enjoyable (and exhausting) Autodesk University so far. This post contains a "blow by blow" account of my involvement in this year's event, to give a feel for what it was like (from my perspective, at least). Monday Before AU proper I attended two great events: our […]

  • 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 […]

  • A couple of posts on other blogs that may be of interest to this blog's readership: CAB Files Present vs. CAB Files Future: over on Beyond the Paper, Volker Joseph raises the possibility of Autodesk Design Review moving from a simple CAB distribution model to one which would allow installation of pre-requisite modules (presumably such […]
