I just signed up for classes at Autodesk University, held once again this year in Las Vegas. This is an annual four day orgy in all things AutoCAD and we send 3-5 people each year to brush up on programming skills and learn new features about Autodesk programs and how to properly use them. You can expect to see a few posts about those after this year’s AU which always takes place the week right after Thankgiving.
AU is open to anyone willing to spend the time and money to be there. Each year over 3000 programmers, users and management types go to see what is up with technology, the internet and new releases. You can choose from a vast array of courses on a number of different ‘tracks’. There are no tests (unless you are trying to get certification, which you can) but there is a lot of information that is taught and extensive handouts are given.
You may not know this, but if you are on the Autodesk Subscription plan then you are able to access the handouts and courseware electronically after AU has concluded. You can access the AU 2005 courseware now at Autodesk Subscription Site
