Originally generated from an existing app companys internal and highly-confidential training guide, the book contains closely guarded app business secrets used to teach new employees the business of app design, development lifecycles and methodology.

The entire company came together as one in order to produce this comprehensive guide to running a business in the competitive iPad and iPhone app space.

As indicated by its title, Producing iOS 6 Apps: The Ultimate Roadmap for Both Non-Programmers and Existing Developers is essentially two books in one. Non-Programmers will find the secrets to build iPhone apps and successfully marketing them without programming skills, while Existing Developers will enjoy an incredibly detailed Objective-C jumpstart guide to help them take full control and save time while doing so. In fact, all who read the book will also benefit from the business management experiences and the shared legal insight.

(PRWEB) November 14, 2012

Software training firm InfiniteSkills last week introduced its “Advanced AutoCAD 2013 Tutorial,” a training course geared to help students and professionals who use AutoCAD in their daily work routine maximize the capabilities of AutoCAD’s powerful design tools.

Taught by AutoCAD expert Brian Benton, the course also includes tips tricks gathered from Benton’s decades of experience to help users draw quickly and efficiently in this complex and challenging program.

InfiniteSkills’ Advanced AutoCAD 2013 Training – DVD provides a crash-course in the latest AutoCAD version. With several sections dedicated to advanced tools and techniques, the course is designed to build from the basic skill set developed in the introductory course, and then bring those new skills together in a final AutoCAD design project.

Advanced AutoCAD 2013 Video Training – DVD

Benton has over 18 years of experience in various AutoCAD design and engineering applications, including work as an engineering technician, CAD service provider, technical writer, and AutoCAD instructor. He has also served in various leadership roles for the AutoDesk newsletter HotNews in addition to working on AutoDesk’s development team.

Benton’s experience means students get the insights and techniques developed over a career of working with AutoCAD in just a few short hours with the Advanced AutoCAD 2013 Training Video from InfiniteSkills.

“We dig deeper into AutoCAD here,” Benton says, “and we learn more of what it can do.”

Topics covered include drawing navigation, where students learn to create, use, and save, named views; and advanced operations, including advanced use of the application menu, keyboard shortcuts, and working with polylines and spline editing. A chapter on advanced tools follows, covering alignment and 3D alignment, lengthening and joining lines and objects, and advanced selection techniques.

Many other critical concepts are covered including file management tools, drawing annotation features, and advanced use of sheets. An extended chapter covers the details of 3D design where users explore AutoCAD’s capabilities for 3D modeling, including running boolean operations, manipulating 3D surfaces, and navigating in 3D, just to name a few.

“In addition to the key tools and concepts,” says Benton, “I teach tricks to help students interact more efficiently with AutoCAD.”

Free demo videos and a full list of course contents can be found on the Learning AutoCAD 2013 training page of the InfiniteSkills website:

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) September 26, 2012

Giving IT professionals an early start on mastering Microsofts newest releases of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, QuickStart Intelligence, the largest Microsoft Gold Learning Partner in the western United States, today announced exciting new courses that provide the core education needed to implement and manage these new major platform introductions.

Windows 7 reached the point where it represented a larger percentage of the Windows installed base only recently despite being on the market for several years. Analysts attribute this to user frustration with its direct predecessor Windows Vista. Most chose to continue using the reliable Windows XP. Microsoft announced this past April that there were only two years left until support for Windows XP is withdrawn on April 14, 2014. This launched a storm of discussion that many called the DeathWatch warning that corporate customers would need to decide whether to upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, pointing out that a major upgrade project like this could take up to 18 months, leaving very little time to make a decision. QuickStarts Windows 8 courses will help enable IT professionals to help make those decisions.

Windows 8

Calling it Windows, reimagined Microsoft introduces its first major change in user interface in decades. While the familiar dropdown menus and icons will be available in the background, the new interface features tiles that present key information, opening to more detail when pressed. Optimized for touch interaction these tiles can be stretched, squeezed, and moved readily allowing the user to arrange their own environment. Underlying this obvious change are many new improvements including new end-to-end security features like Trusted Boot, BitLocker Drive Encryption and AppLocker. New mobility advantages include DirectAccess, Branch Cache, Mobile Broadband, and the ability to put an entire Windows 8 desktop on a bootable USB stick allowing users to work from anywhere on any device.

All of this is presented in detail in QuickStarts new Windows 8 courses:


TR-WIN8Ent – Mastering Windows 8 Client in the Enterprise
MS-40003 – Programming Windows 8 Metro Style Apps using HTML5: Early Lab Collection

Windows Server 2012

New capabilities and features abound in the new server platform. Microsoft explains how Windows Server 2012 delivers value in four key ways:
