What's hues?
Posted 11/14/06 by Lisa Crounse
If I had opened a fortune cookie ten years ago and read a fortune that said “You will host a blog about software development,” a number of thoughts would have entered my mind. First, of course, would have been “What the heck is a blog?” The second would have been “What would I ever know about software development?” After all, I was in school training to become a Landscape Architect.
Those were the days that I spent my days, and many a long night, designing and drawing for hours upon hours. My nails had charcoal ground under them and my sinuses and lungs were filled with the dust from pastels and graphite particles. More than once I almost passed out from way too much xylene inhalation (and probably sheer exhaustion). And I loved it, in a tortured student high on marker fumes sort of way.
Fast forward back to the present, past stints at two landscape architecture firms and a marketing position at a web software company (this is San Francisco after all) and here I am at Autodesk writing a blog about software development. And I'm back working with drawings again, well, sort of.
What will this blog be about? Well, a bit about everything, everything Impression and Autodesk Labs that is. It will include interviews with the team behind Impression from the guy who developed the area fill tool to the gal who tests the software to make sure that everything is in proper working order. I’ll also feature interviews with some of our beta testers, as they’ve contributed a lot towards making Impression the application that it is today.
Building a new technology from scratch is a huge undertaking. This blog will be your behind the scenes look at the people who have helped it become a reality.
