Infinite Skills – Autodesk Inventor 2014 Tutorial Series
Infinite Skills – Autodesk Inventor 2014 Tutorial Series
Are you looking for a video tutorial series for Autodesk Inventor?
Infinite Skills has recently released its Learning Autodesk Inventor 2014 series featuring instructor Adam Cooper. I was provided the DVD and asked to review this tutorial series, and was very pleased with the content found within.
When I popped in the DVD, the autoplay opened the viewing application and presented me with the Chapter menu as shown here:

A status legend on the right shows which videos Ive watched with a shaded dot, as well as a partially shaded dot for those videos that I only watched part of. As you can image this can be a great help when jumping around within the chapters.Once a topic is selected the video plays in the application. The authors pace is quite good, but since it is a video you can always use the buttons found in the video control tool bar to pause and rewind as needed.

Improve your App Engine skills with Google Developers Academy
Improve your App Engine skills with Google Developers Academy
Are you developing on Google App Engine today or interested in learning how to use it? If youve gone through all the great App Engine docs and Getting Started tutorials (Python, Java, or Go) but want to take your App Engine skills a step further, then Google Developers Academy (GDA) is the place to go! We launched GDA this past summer at Google I/O 2012, with content for beginners as well as seasoned developers. What can you find on App Engine in GDA today?

If you�re interested in getting more background on what cloud computing is and where App Engine fits into that ecosystem, then this intro class (Introduction to Google App Engine) is for you. Once you�re done with this class, you�ll be ready to tackle the Getting Started tutorial, and after that, move on to the App Engine 101 in Python class.
While some of the material found in App Engine 101 is similar to whats in the Getting Started tutorial, the 101 class targets developers who skipped the tutorial or completed it at some point in the past but dont want to repeat the exact same thing. The main differences include the following changes to the tutorials content:
- Use of the Python NDB API
- Jinja2 templates
- Discussion of data consistency and datastore indexes
You can use the relational MySQL-compatible Google Cloud SQL service as an alternative to App Engines native non-relational datastore. Some applications do require a relational database, especially if you�re porting an existing app that relies on one. In this case, you want to learn about Cloud SQL and how to use it with App Engine. That�s why we have the Using Python App Engine with Google Cloud SQL class.
Of course, Google is best known for search. With App Engines powerful Search API, you can index not only plain text, but also HTML, atoms, numbers, dates, and locations (lat/long). Getting Started with the Python Search API is a two-part class that will indeed get you started: in the first part of the class, you�ll create an application using a variety of data and learn how to index such data (using �documents�). In Part 2, you�ll learn how to execute queries as well as how to update your indexes when you modify your data.
If variety is what youre after, then look no further than the newest class in GDA: Getting Started with Go, App Engine and Google+ API. You will not only learn how to create an App Engine app using the Go programming language, but also learn how to connect to the Google+ API with the Google APIs Client Library for Go.
These are just a few examples of the types of classes youll find in GDA. We also have content that features many other Google technologies, including Android, Chrome, YouTube, Maps, Drive, and Wallet. We invite you to swing by for a visit soon.
