After one update to the content he originally posted, Stephen Preston has handed the reigns for this DevTV across to Augusto Gonçalves, a São Paulo-based member of our DevTech Americas team. Augusto presented his work to rave reviews at AU 2009, and has now updated the online DevTV content. I've gone ahead and updated the […]

This is a minor pet peeve of mine that I felt like sharing. Feel free to post a comment if you agree, disagree or have your own pet coding peeve to share with other readers of this blog. I quite often see .NET code that tests for the value of a Boolean to see whether […]

As mentioned in this previous post, at this year's Autodesk University the "Developer Track" has rightly been combined with the "Customization & Programming" track (it made sense to rationalise these two tracks which had a very similar style of class).

I've updated the links in this previous post to point to the updated DevTV, as the original recording is likely to disappear during the coming days. Here's an update from Stephen on what's new in this version: New features of the migration […]

As mentioned in a comment on a recent post, Stephen Preston, our DevTech Americas Manager, has put together a useful tool and accompanying DevTV session to help people migrate their VBA code to VB.NET. The resultant code uses COM Interop to call into AutoCAD. AutoCAD VBA to .NET Migration Basics view download (44.3 Mb) Stephen […]

A recent comment on one of my F# articles got me thinking about this topic (thanks, Thomas! :-), so I thought I'd write a few posts on it. Next week is AU, and the week after that I'm attending a training class in Boston, so posts may be a little sparse over the coming weeks. […]

This is an interesting topic – and one that I'm far from being expert in – so it would be great if readers could submit comments with additional information. Intellectual property protection is a major concern for software developers, and issues that are seen today with .NET languages have been troubling AutoCAD developers since the […]
