This class is for the AutoCAD software C# developer who wants to improve code quality and maintainability. Learn how to apply good software design patterns to your AutoCAD software code and maximize on the advanced features of the Microsoft C# language. We will cover topics such as the single responsibility principle, duplicate code reduction, abstraction, and dependency injection. We will touch on Microsoft WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) and the Model-View-ViewModel pattern. We will also explore Microsoft C# features such as LINQ and delegates, and we will see where we can best apply them to the AutoCAD software API. My hope is that you will walk away with some basic techniques that will make your code more testable, extensible, maintainable, scalable, and reusable.

If you have a passion for developing Microsoft .NET applications for AutoCAD software, this class will help propel your skills to the next level. We will explore how you can apply the fundamental principles of good software design in the context of AutoCAD software. We will examine typical problems found when using the AutoCAD API and identify common patterns that you can simplify to eliminate duplicate code. You will learn how to capitalize on advance features of the C# language to maximize code reuse. You will also learn how to use abstraction to decouple your code from AutoCAD software to improve maintainability, testability, and overall code quality.

This class is for the AutoCAD C# developer who wants to improve code quality and maintainability. Learn how to apply good software design patterns to your AutoCAD code, and take full advantage of the advanced features of the C# language. We cover topics such as the single responsibility principle, reducing duplicate code, abstraction, and dependency injection. We touch on WPF and the Model-View-ViewModel pattern. We also explore C# features such as LINQ and delegates, and where we can best apply them to the AutoCAD API.

Both Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play unique and valuable roles in supporting the life cycle of building and infrastructure projects. BIM provides detailed information about buildings and infrastructure assets while GIS provides information about those assets in the context of the natural and built environments and other vital factors, such as demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental considerations. The integration of BIM and GIS enables the project or asset to be visualized, monitored, and assessed in that real world context. The benefits are numerous: from being able to understand and change the design early in the design process to easily sharing design in its real-world context with various stakeholders. This presentation will discuss various BIM and GIS integration points, common use cases, challenges, and how to plan for a successful integration of BIM and GIS.

A panel of expert AutoCAD programmers take 10 programming questions from the audience, solve the problems, and present the solutions.
