If you're not going to build tests, you'll spend 4x in debug sessions and also get "fear of change". I worked in a project where we had 80%+ branches coverage in unit tests and awesome automated regression package for en

There're different point of views: - If you're 3D modeller, then yes, you're operate in terms of splines, surfaces, NURBS curves, etc. 3D model is your product. - If you're mechanical engineer (and CAD usually appear in

It's a very nice 3d primitives collection, but I don't see how it is CAD (at least in context of mechanical engineering). - First of all, as a mechanical engineer, you're not dealing with surfaces, you're dealing with 3

It was a really nice adventure to complete all the 6 sets. Learned lots of useful stuff. My great thanks to tptacek and the team who prepared such a nice hands-on crypto class. P.S. 7th set is insane (in a good way).
