November is all about Autodesk University (AU)! It’s only two weeks away and in less than that I’ll be on my way there. Excitement is in the air.
There are many changes and new ideas associated with AU this year. They vary from the handouts being handled differently to the Unconference at the Conference. (In my mind I can hear the Uncola CAD commercial from decades past.)
You can visit the Unconference site and read about the idea and sessions scheduled as well as take part in discussions. It is an unconference because it is not an instructor teaching students, but a leader leading a discussion on the particular unconference topic.
What an experience! The surprising thing was really just how fast it went. I found myself sitting at the airport for my flight home and it felt as if I’d just arrived the day before.
Friday I spent the entire morning learning about Windows Vista. Being that I’d never truly seen it, I was happy to be able to expand my knowledge about what I know I need to learn.
The class was very helpful and was professionally done even though it was the last class on the last day. I learned about installation, security, and saw many ins and outs and pros and cons. I’m feeling pretty excited about it now.
Are you sick of hearing all the media reports about how bad the airlines are or how busy travel is this time of year? I certainly am.
I’m getting ready to leave for Autodesk University on Friday. Why Friday? Well it seemed like it might be the least busy time of the Thanksgiving weekend to travel. Also, that gives me the weekend before AU to see some sites and relax before the big week.
