Hello All, Please, can anyone advise on whether registration for 2024 CAD Virtual Conference is still open?I tried several time to register but didn't get any confirmation.  Thank you for your help. 

Hi, I am an Windchill implementer and admin, dabbling in Creo tools and looking at future technology. It seems that there isn't a UK user group, or at least one that I can find easily. Would anyone be interested in helping me set up such a community?   Greg

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!

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.
