Developers: Dances with Elephants
Jim Quanci, director of the Autodesk Developer Network (ADN) penned an article called Dances with Elephants for UpFront.eZine that I thought GIS developers might find valuable. It lays out the three different “levels” of developers that work with Autodesk (and I’d offer, GIS platform offerers): from those building simple utilities, to those building specialized apps to those building high volume apps. Mr. Quanci has been doing this for some time, so he knows of what he speaks.
