ebook: Engineering Design Revolution

Engineering Design Revolution is a new book that was written by industry veteran David Weisberg of Cyon Research. 

This book starts out with a brief history of design and engineering and works it’s way on up to the History of Computer Aided Design (CAD) from it’s roots in the mid 1940’s thru today.

This 650 page book covers all of the companies in the CAD Industry, and identifies important events leading up to the conception of each company, how the software was developed, competition with other companies, and additional developments and acquisitions of technologies that have improved each company and it’s offerings.

The Engineering Design Revolution  book is available for online reading or in a downloadable PDF format at no charge.  Weisberg is requesting that readers consider contributing to the Cancer League of Colorado Foundation in recognition of the value this book.

I’m going to Kansas City, Missouri!

How did this happen?

I write a few macros, start a website, do a few presentations, meet a few people, write articles in my blog, and the next thing that happens is I am going to Kansas City, Missouri!

Quite simply put, the Kansas City SolidWorks User Group, headed by Wayne Tiffany, was looking for someone to come in and do a presentation on the SolidWorks API and writing macros for SolidWorks.  Since I already did this presentation for the Midwest Regional User Group last October, Richard Doyle from SolidWorks asked if I could go to Kansas City and do this presentation. 

The meeting for the Kansas City SolidWorks User Group is scheduled for July 17 from 6:30 to 9:30.  If you are in the area, please stop in and learn about the SolidWorks API.
