Calcpad is a VERY cool project and I hope it takes off (hell yes for open source). But imo it ventures too far into writing something that's like coding. If I wanted to just code, I'd just use python with handcalcs or something. WYSIWYG is the way to go if you don't want/don't have time to dive...
That is an awesome summary, thanks! Yeah haha, when has trying to make something new been easy??
Since I've taken a foray into software, I'm really thinking about things from that perspective as well, trying to bring some of those critical infrastructure into traditional engineering. It'll be...
Good comment! What would you consider to be M15's must have feature-set? I know it might be overly ambitious, but I feel like a lot of people's first foray into doing calculations is through Excel even though it's not super intuitive to learn and hard to do easily reviewable calc documentation...
Depends on how open you are to different types of jobs. For example, civil Engineering grads can get jobs in municipal, structural, transportation, water, project management, etc, but if you're specifically focusing on a smaller market, it may be harder. It took me about 10 months to find a job...
Hey guys, I'm a structural turned software engineer and I'm building a mathcad-ish alternative (primarily due to the lack of care and innovation PTC's shown for the software). I'm really curious about the things you love or hate about the software. Maybe PTC can also see this thread and then I...
