Description

by John Walker/// John Walker founded Autodesk, Inc. in 1982, and was its president through 1986 and chairman until 1988.
Autodesk, one of the five largest personal computer
software companies, has become a leader in the computer
aided design industry; its product, AutoCAD, is
the de facto worldwide standard for computer aided design
and drafting.
John Walker is co-author of AutoCAD and several
other Autodesk products, including AutoSketch, Auto-
Shade, and Cellular Automata Laboratory.
His first book, The Autodesk File, was published
in 1989 by New Riders Publishing. It chronicles Autodesk’s
growth from $60,000 pooled by a bunch of
programmers to a billion dollar company in less than
eight years. Despite good reviews, The Autodesk File
never became a bestseller.
So, why not a diet book? If this doesn’t sell well,
Walker may try a book about cats....:D
