AEC Tech News at Cadence Magazine

Prof. Langdon assumed the mantle of AEC Tech News editor/writer at Cadence Magazine from Jerry Laiserin in November 1999, and was followed by Kemlani Lachmi in 2001.  He also has served on the Cadence Magazine Editorial Board for Architecture. The online newsletter has been posted at the Cadence Magazine website (http://www.cadenceweb.com) as well as automatically being sent via email to over 20,000 subscribers. In 2004 Cadylist Magazine has acquired Cadence Magazine, and not all of the Cadence publications are available free online.  There is a new AEC Tech News you can subscribe at http://www.cadylist.com.   The newsletter is very timely and topical and comes out every two weeks. So far, his articles have covered new developments in Construction Project Specific Web Sites, CAD Industry Shakeup not Shakeout, Internet Email Forums, and more.
