In Mastering Revit 2011 | work and all that on January 12, 2010 at 12:27 pm

>In December we started working on the new tome, Mastering Revit 2011. work has been progressing nicely over the last month and a half. We’ve been pounding out content getting organize and arguing over who’s name gets to be first on the book cover. As with any project, this is a work in progress, but we wanted to share the current iteration of our Table of Contents. This is version 10, and I’m sure there will be a version 11 and a version 52, but this should give you an idea of the kind of content we’re looking to create. See anything we missed in there?

Stay tuned for previews of some of the upcoming work as we continue flushing out the chapters.
