Civil 3D Courseware Update

It's that time again. Time for me to update you all on available courseware for Civil 3D!  Some of these you may already know about—but because new titles are coming out pretty regularly now, I thought it was time for an update.

If I have overlooked a book, please let me know. Thanks!

In alphabetical order:

	Hong Kong's Andy Chan has a new Civil 3D 2008 book out.
	Autodesk offers several AOTC (Autodesk Official Training Courseware) titles specific to Civil 3D.
	Cadapult has Civil 3D 2008 courseware available...with more on the way. This material is always good.
	Engineered Efficiency has a new Civil 3D 2008 book out. It's long, but very good.
	Check out the vBooks—video-based books available online. Retrieve adds new titles regularly, and also updates its existing titles.

Expert CAD Management: The Complete Guide

My friend and fellow guitar player Robert Green has just finished his book Expert CAD Management: The Complete Guide. If you follow Bob’s writing for Catalyst, etc., you know he is one of the leading authorities on issues faced by CAD managers.

Budgeting, training, management oversight, expectation management and software/network configuration are all topics you will find in the book. The accompanying CD includes a video presentation from Bob showing you how to make the most out of the content. Two thumbs up from me; this is a must have for all CAD managers.
