COURSE OUTLINE
What they said
Thanks again for the training this week. I learned a great deal and I have a million ideas floating around in my head. My level of confidence in creating add-ins with the PDM API is significantly increased, and the large volume of sample code we produced will be a great reference moving forward.
Learning where to look for answers and how to look for those answers, along with the specifics of the API itself, was a huge benefit. I also greatly appreciate the offer of ongoing communication and assistance in the form of a code review of my first add-in. I look forward to both of those things.

I just wanted to let you know that I’ll try to repeat the exercises several times a week for a few hours. I particularly liked the PDM add-in with the button.
I was also able to take the first steps, such as outputting the path from the selected file. I copied a few things, some of which came from me. I thought of the ‘partial’ from the beginning — much tidier.
When you’re back in Vancouver at the end of the week, we can exchange ideas. Until then, I wish you a great time in Europe.
