Networking and More

Hello to all of you! I need some guidance because my career in development is at a junction. I want to create a mobile application that runs on both Android and iOS, but I'm not sure if I should concentrate on front-end, back-end, or full stack development. I also want to decide which programming language is best for creating cross-platform applications. Flutter, React Native, and native programming are some of the possibilities that I've heard about. I went through this article and gained some knowledge but still I have few concerns over which one would offer bright future. I would be grateful for any first-hand experience or guidance from those who have developed cross-platform mobile apps. Thank you in advance for your insights!

Have a blessed weekend. 

Do you ever have mornings (or weeks) where your work takes a left turn 5 minutes into the day? Embrace the opportunities... Be blessed.   You might be an engineer if:   You window shop at Radio Shack. (You’re old engineer if you remember Raido Shack)   You've already calculated how much you make per second.   You've tried to repair a $5 radio.  

Have a great weekend. Mixed weather here this weekend. Join us for Breakfast at the Beach on Memorial Day. 9:00 am by the channel, Holland State Park. https://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/details.aspx?id=458&type=SPRK   What are you plans this weekend. (Long weekend in the States.)     You might be an engineer if:   You look forward to Christmas, so you can put together the kids' toys. You think that people yawning around you are sleep deprived. You see a good design, and have to change it. You spent more on your calculator than you did on your wedding ring.

Sketchup has been OK to work with, but Qualcomm has some kind of license for Creo, so I'm asking IT to get me going here.

Half way through May. Where is 2024 going? Enjoy time with the ones you love this weekend. Did you do anything special for your mother last weekend?       You might be an engineer if:   You can quote lines from any Monty Python movie.   You sit backwards on Disney rides so you can see how they do the special effects.   You have saved every power cord from all your broken appliances.   You know what http:// stands for.

I've got a bunch of splitting to do this weekend. What's on your to do list? (Or honeydew list?)     You might be an engineer if:   You take a cruise so you can go on a personal tour of the engine room.   In college, you thought Spring Break was metal fatigue failure.   The salespeople at the local computer store can't answer any of your questions.   At an air show, you know how fast the skydivers are falling.

March brought something special to PTC Seaport Headquarters Boston. In honor of National Working Mom's Day, March 12th, this online community manager trekked into the city with my 15 year old son to be a spectator/helper for the BRUG (PTC/USER Boston Regional User Group) kick-off meeting.  The event was spearheaded by the new PTC/USER Regional User Group leader, @MichaelBourque, a dedicated Creo advocate. Over fifty PTC software users gathered on the 17th floor, rejuvenating the Boston Regional User Group (BRUG).   GROUP PHOTO!!     The event kicked off with Michael Bourque sharing his journey with Creo, recounting his days at PTC where he contributed to developing early versions like Wildfire. Beyond his own story, Bourque engaged the audience, seeking input on future BRUG meeting topics, focusing on the impact of PTC products.   Our discussion broadened with contributions from other PTC Community members like @ScottMorris , @sdurukkar @michaelbanus

What your plans for "Star Wars" days (May the 4th be with you)!!!   Have a great weekend. Hug the ones you love. Be blessed.       Why do computer programmers and engineers prefer their devices in dark mode?   Because light attracts bugs.

Join the PTC Community of Carolina Users at the BRAND NEW Facility  -   Stanley Black and Decker in Conover NC. Come and learn from the Best of the BEST!  Leo Greene (Rockets and Stuff) , Bart Brejcha (Motorcycles and Styling and Stuff), Sean Schrekengost (More PTC Stuff)  and Jeff Raquet (Educational ISDX and Styling and Stuff) and Top down/bottom up design techniques.  Awesome cash prizes and great food, and even better camaraderie.   Bring your most pressing questions to "Stump the Chumps" and share your successes and failures.    Where "Iron Sharpens Iron" , Pro PTC Users .....  We work smarter, not harder! 

Have a blessed day!!! Especially if you are @Jaime_Lee (who is having an extra special day today... if you know what I mean... another trip around the sun completed, eh?)   Won free lawn service at our home and garden show this year.... mowing for the 3rd time already here in Michigan this afternoon.     If it looks stupid, but works Then it ain't stupid (and you can say "trust me, I'm an engineer")

Looks like a nice but chilly weekend. Chance of frost Sunday morning. What can you do to brightened someone's day today.     How do you tell the difference between a newbie and an expert?   The newbie says, "What’s it doing?"   The expert says, "It's doing it again!"  

Have a terrific weekend. Get outside and enjoy sometime in creation.       I’m struggling with math today.   Fifteen plus fifteen is thirty,   But   Sixteen plus sixteen is thirty too.

We are looking to add a CAD Admin/Support person sometime soon. Does anyone any thoughts on what we should be looking for? Is anyone out there looking?Off the top of my head, requirements that come to mind are:CAD Support, mostly Creo, some Solidworks (95% Creo)Windchill user support (not administration).Process and documentation support.Must be a problem solver with attention to detail.Ability to see what needs to be done and do it, see what needs to be fixed and fix itThis position will most likely be onsite in Lafayette, CO.We have users who would be really good at all of this, however, they want to be real Development engineers, not CAD Support engineers. We need to find someone who wants to be a CAD Admin & Support Engineer.  

Hi, PTC Enthusiasts,     Today is International Pets Day!   I thought I would share something fun we are doing here at PTC today!  We are launching a PETS MicroCommunity! We were encouraged to change our internal Teams avatar for the occasion.  If you have been on this PTC Cooler any amount of time, you know how much I love my Maple!   We, at the PTC Community, are going to stay "Support Community," but for today (or rest of the week or month...whatever gets your tail wagging 😉 why don't we switch our avatar to commemorate our love of our pets!   Calling all cute pet photos too as a reply to this post!

I hope you have a terrific weekend. Enjoy time with the ones you love. Don't be blinded by the eclipse.       The difference between the theory and practice is small in theory, but large in practice.   Experience is the lesson nature gives you five minutes after you need it.  

The Product Development CAD Systems Manager for JLG, will lead a team of engineers in the development, enhancement, and maintenance of our Windchill PLM infrastructure, CAD systems, and various software tools that are either custom developed or packaged applications used across the product development team.See the link for the whole job posting: https://oshkoshcorporation.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Oshkosh/job/Hagerstown-Maryland-United-States/CAD-Systems-Manager_R27308 

It's Friday, ... but SUNDAY'S COMING!!! Be blessed this weekend and take time to reflect....     Seen on a sign at an engineering faculty:   "Theory is when we know everything, and nothing works.   Practice is when everything works, but we don't know why.   Our goal here is therefore to combine theory with practice:   NOTHING works and we don't know WHY!"

Maybe your pipes overflowed with joy and now the sadness begins with the last of the pipe specifications. If you have others that should have made the list please comment.   2-5 inches of snow this morning. Schools are close east of us. Most of the snow must have passed over us.       Pipe Specifications (The series continues…)   Other commodities are often confused with pipes. These include: conduit, tube, tunnel and drain. Use only genuine pipes.   Scottish Regiments in the Army use Army pipes in unusual ways. These are not approved of in engineering circles.

Belated Happy Pi Day!!! For those who prefer, there is an obscure person that is celebrated this coming Sunday. Wear green if necessary. Just enjoy time together over the weekend!         Pipe Specifications (The series continues…)   All pipes shorter than 1/8in (3mm) are very uneconomical in use, requiring many joints. They are generally known as washers.   Joints in pipes for piping water must be water-tight. Those in pipes for compressed air, however, need only be air-tight.   Lengths of pipes may be welded or soldered together. This method is not recommended for concrete or earthenware pipes.

Hello, fellow adventurers.I'm on a mission to master data structures and algorithms (DSA), and I'm looking for your advice to help me along the way. As I delved into the complexities of DSA while reading this website, I became increasingly intrigued. I'm also hoping to incorporate the ideas of precision teaching and curriculum (PTC) into my learning process for best grasp and retention. Can you help me create a clear plan that combines both DSA principles and PTC methodologies?Here are a few points I'd like to explore: PTC Integration: How can I effectively integrate precision teaching and curriculum principles into my DSA learning journey? Are there specific strategies or techniques from PTC that I should incorporate to enhance my understanding and retention of DSA concepts?Foundational Concepts: Starting with the basics, what are the essential foundational concepts and data structures that I should focus on mastering in DSA? How can I align these foundational topics with the pri
