As you know, I'm a big fan of Autodesk Platform Services (formerly Forge) and I attended the online bootcamp last September to test for myself how far you can get as a "layman" with a bit of web development experience - and I was pretty blown away! With the next bootcamp coming up next week, I thought I'd take the opportunity to share a short experience report with you.
The APS online bootcamp is completely free of charge and I have already reported on the process in this article: Forge Online Bootcamp - BIM me UP! (bim-me-up.com)
The recordings of the last training session (September 2022) are also on Youtube but I recommend that you take part live if possible, as you will then also have the opportunity to ask questions. All information about the current training can be found here:
April Autodesk Platform Services training - Get started with us! | Autodesk Platform Services
I "built" the following example last year on the 1st and 3rd day: it is a viewer with a few additional displays and evaluations.

This viewer could now be further customized, published on any website - or, of course, connected directly to your models in the Autodesk Construction Cloud.
You can actually follow the training well and there are enough breaks planned - however, I strongly advise against doing e-mails or the like on the side, as you have to think your way in.
What other applications can you think of?
Have you already had your first experience with APS or do you still plan to? 🙂
