  • Is it decent ? Yes

    Should I look elsewhere? Also yes.

    CAD is difficult to understand on a good day, and FreeCAD is a beginner unfriendly implementation of it.

    I personally love it and it’s an excellent tool if you already know what you are doing. If you don’t, it’s a mess of screens and spaces with no rhyme or reason.

    My two cents. Learn CAD first, Google Sketchup or Fusion 360 are good and beginner friendly with lots of tutorials. Then move to FreeCAD to learn the differences.

    That said if you want to just try FreeCAD, this release is the best I’ve used from them.


  • When I was in Uni, we had the opportunity to apply for co-op at Black Berry when they still made phones with their own OS.

    I was getting into mobile dev at this time and applied and got an interview.

    I didn’t know what I was expecting but what I got was a 10-20min sales pitch for their phone and I wasn’t asked a question… I don’t think. From what I gathered afterwards they just wanted to hire/rehire one guy and had to interview others to be in the co-op program.

    Believe it or not I wasn’t sold on black berry after that.
