The tech landscape is alive and kicking and I feel like the tech is maturing at an even rate. Products are getting updates, patches and improvements but no crazy new technology breaks yet. As we head into the end of the first quarter of 2014, I am interested to see what the summer product announcements and developer's conferences will bring.
SolidWorks World 2014 proceedings site is up and all the presentations and videos are available for download and viewing. Whether you attended an just couldn't go to certain sessions or was not even in San Diego that week, you have a resource to go in search of nuggets!
The SolidWorks Blog is covered with many marketing pieces on Mechanical Conceptual but nothing is yet out for the public as far as licenses or access as of yet. A better part of the VAR channel is just getting a few fingers into it but no mass access yet either. Hope to have more news as it's availability becomes more accessible. ~Lou
