<h3>First Cloud Accelerator Success – Second Coming Up</h3>
<p>The first
<a href="http://autodeskcloudaccelerator.com">
Autodesk Cloud Accelerator</a> completed last week with great success.</p>
<p>As a result, the
<a href="http://autodeskcloudaccelerator.com">
Autodesk Cloud Accelerator v2</a> has
already been announced, in quick succession, on June 1-12, 2015.</p>
<p>What is this cloud accelerator thing?
Simply put, a two-week intensive workshop for creative developers, hosted by Autodesk in San Francisco, to expand your business in the cloud.
Read more about it on the web site and in my
<a href="http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2015/01/cloud-accelerator-and-more-revit-stuff.html#1">
announcement of the first Autodesk Cloud Accelerator</a> two months ago.</p>
<p>Apply soon – the deadline is looming on the horizon, on April 19, 2015.</p>
<p>Here are some of the preliminary results and feedback from the first accelerator:</p>
<p>12 proposals were selected from 50 applications, targeted at the following domains:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 <a href="https://developer.autodesk.com">View & Data</a></li>
<li>3 <a href="http://www.autodesk.com/products/bim-360">BIM 360</a></li>
<li>3 <a href="http://autocad.io/Home/Overview">AutoCAD I/O</a></li>
<li>2 <a href="http://www.autodesk.com/products/recap/features/photo-recap-360/all/gallery-view">ReCap Photo</a></li>
</ul>
<p>All the attendees were very happy with the event and made significant progress integrating our APIs into their applications.</p>
<p>The new products are well underway to being launched!</p>
<p>The accelerator web site provides a list of the attending companies.</p>
<p>Some of the benefits the attendees mentioned were:</p>
<ul>
<li>Access to Autodesk engineering teams – the people who wrote the APIs – to get one-on-one advice and assistance with their work.</li>
<li>Access to senior Autodesk staff, including Amar Hanspal and Scott Reese.</li>
<li>Access to the Autodesk product management teams to talk in person about their own needs for future API enhancements – every API team ran at least one feedback session.</li>
<li>An environment sitting together with fellow developers working on similar ideas – several participants changed direction during the event as a result of sharing ideas with their neighbours.</li>
<li>Discovering and learning about new APIs from peers.</li>
</ul>
<p>The website has already been updated with some of the feedback, with lots more to follow soon.</p>
<p>Good luck preparing your application!</p>
