Introducing our DevTV YouTube channel

By Stephen Preston

For your delight and delectation, and as part of our ADN Open project, we've now created an Autodesk DevTV YouTube channel as a central place for you to browse and view our DevTV screencasts.

At the moment, its mostly a selection of old recordings we've posted in other places in the past. Our plan is to post all our DevTV videos there in future, and link to them from our blogs and elsewhere.

 

Click this link to visit the Autodesk DevTV YouTube Channel.

 

Please don't hesitate to send me your feedback and suggestions on the channel. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to find the information you need (and this is the first YouTube Channel I've ever created, so I'm sure I've overlooked some usability features :-).

 

API webcast archive

By Stephen Preston

As part of our ADN Open work to move our API content to more accessible (search-engine-findable) locations, I'm posting our webcast archive to DevBlog. Some of these recordings are  old now, but still contain useful information. And, being recordings of live webcasts, they are not as polished as our DevTV recordings.

Note that some recordings are in Chinese and some in English.

Getting Started with JavaScript API on AutoCAD 2014

By Philippe Leefsma

As you may have seen already, AutoCAD 2014 is coming with a brand new JavaScript API that will allow a new wave of programmers to interact with it.

Whether you are an experienced web developer or a complete newbie in that area, this DevTv will take you through the steps required to get started programming AutoCAD in JavaScript. A previous experience with one of the existing AutoCAD API, such as ObjectARX or .Net is however a plus.

Here are the topics I cover during the presentation:

I. Introduction to JavaScript

II. JavaScript API in AutoCAD

III. Extending AutoCAD JavaScript API

You will also find the samples that I am demo-ing as part of the attached material below. Note: Firefox or Chrome are recommended browsers if you are playing the video using the html link, IE may behave strangely.
