What a busy month for tech news! Not only was the SolidWorks Blog busy, as usual, the rest of the industry was busy with announcements as well. As a tech enthusiast in general as well as CAD technology, I love when months like this come around.
The coming months are also going to be littered with announcements and other technologies that will infuence what we are to see in the fall. SolidWorks Beta 2012 will be starting up soon and announcements around that should be coming out from SolidWorks and the summer months roll in.
As far as technology goes, Google I/O is a conference that I spend a lot of time paying attention to. Not only for the new APIs and cool new cloud based services they talk about, but also to see how the community around Google utilizes their tools to create and innovate. Hopefully by the next Tech News cast we will be talking about getting ready for BETA!! ~Lou
