About cadgurus.com
Despite a
narrow focus on MicroStation CAD technology, cadgurus.com hosted thousands of visitors every day. Roughly 30%
of the content was contributed by her visitors and members, but what most didn't
realize was that the remaining 70% of the content was created by just
two people - its founders, Mary Ramsey and Mark Stefanchuk.
In 1998, the site began as a small collection of html pages. An index
page, a tip of the week page, and a downloads page were the most visited pages at that time. However, as the
content increased, maintenance of the site became more demanding and we needed to build a better solution.
The site was redisigned using ASP. The new site served daily
content, introduced applications for uploading new content, and auto-generated a weekly newsletter.
In the end there were more than a dozen administrative applications in addition to the tools for extracting
daily content from the archive databases.
By summer of 2003 our interests were being pulled in new directions. And since there are many other excellent
web resources for MicroStation we decided to shut down cadgurus.com. The downloads can still be found on this
site, cadgurus downloads.
