A crash course in software development best practices for the unexpected coder
There's a lot of information out there for advanced software developers, and there's many people that have no interest in developing their own code. What about the rest of us? This class is for those that have even a cursory interest in software programming, but have no background or experience. Take the first step to writing code against one of Autodesk's many APIs and see how anyone can start programming effectively.
In this class, I'll explain what the Forge software development platform is and how you can harness its power.
Ask your programming questions to our panel of hardcore cloud and mobile experts from our software development teams. If you are writing solutions that are based on these technologies or you are just about to start and want to know more, then this is the perfect forum to get to know the people who create the APIs and services you work with and your fellow programmers who use those APIs. Come and ask questions, add your expertise to the discussion, or just listen and learn.

Node.js is almost ten years old. It's no longer a new and uncertain open source project, but a solid choice for modern software development. Node.js is useful for frontend build steps, backend API layers, interfacing with databases, desktop software, and even machine learning projects. It excels in some areas and is still lacking in others. This talk will cover how to get started with Node.js, common development process, and standard tools to get acquainted with as a developer. An updated overview will continue with the pros and cons of choosing Node.js as a technology. We will talk about the maturity level of different types of Node.js projects. The current features it supports and how it is similar or different to other technologies with demos. We will cover what the standard frameworks choices, and what Autodesk have ultimately chosen for our projects. We then will take a deep dive into the projects that are currently using Node.js at Autodesk. We will look at the design patterns, project structures and engineering choices Autodesk made over the years of developing with Node.js. We'd like to share the rise and pitfalls we have ran into with different tech choices to you make a better decision on whether or not to use Node.js, and if you do, have a better understanding at where Node.js can be the most useful.
