FANUC UK is offering its ROBOGUIDE and CNC GUIDE simulation software programs asfree trials until the end of September 2020, as part of an initiative to get production back up and running.

Both of the programs are designed to enhance productivity by providing users with the ability to run offline simulations from standard PC equipment.

The company believes with the manufacturing industry looking to ramp up production, efficiency-boosting software such as FANUCs ROBOGUIDE and CNC GUIDE will play a critical role as we emerge from the lockdown.

ROBOGUIDE simulates the motion of FANUC robots, as well as the overall production process, and can be used for offline programming and creating a 3D simulation environment to design and optimise applications efficiently. This can then be transferred to robot controllers in the production via Ethernet connection, thus minimising machine downtime.

It features an integrated CAD database that gives users access to all FANUC robots, machines, and simple tools, which means even complex applications with multiple robots can be simulated and tested.

CNC GUIDE emulates the FANUC CNC exactly, allowing users to write, simulate and test part programs on their computer. Machine tool builders can use it to support their customers remotely, simulating machine programs and providing advice in case of programming errors.

CNC GUIDE is also useful for educational institutions that offer training for CNC programming. Since it shows the keyboard of a real FANUC CNC, the operation of FANUC controllers can also be trained in the form of distance learning on a PC without the need for a real machine tool.

Andy Armstrong, Sales and Marketing Manager at FANUC UK, said: The past few months have been challenging for the manufacturing industry, with many factories operating at very limited capacity. The road ahead will be difficult, but one thing is for certain: businesses that combine efficiency and flexibly of production, with the expertise of their employees, will be best positioned to bounce back.

Our ROBOGUIDE and CNC GUIDE software allows users to get the most out of their equipment, boosting efficiency to the highest level possible. We want to support customers in their recovery, which is why anyone who registers through our online portal by 30thJune will have access to the free trial, and a 25% discount on the full product when the trial ends.

Andy concludes: As we embark on life after lockdown, it is likely that manufacturers will become more aware of the potential benefits of automation. Offering free trials of ROBOGUIDE and CNC GUIDE will facilitate a greater understanding of how automation can increase productivity, and ultimately benefit the industry as a whole.

Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California on Monday, June 4, 2018.

When Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference kicks off later this month, it will look markedly different than its previous 30 iterations. Instead of a in-person conference held in San Jose, California with parties, sushi dinners, and hands-on workshops, WWDC will be held online this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

For the public, the draw is Apple's so-called "keynote" on the first day of the conference where CEO Tim Cook and other executives reveal the latest version of iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac software, which will come out in the fall. Like in earlier years, the keynote presentation will be streamed online around the world.

But for developers who have nicknamed the gathering "Dub Dub," a significant draw is the opportunity to receive detailed technical help with their current projects after the keynote ends. This year, instead of one-on-one time with Apple employees, they'll be watching recorded videos, applying for limited videoconferencing spots and asking questions on Apple's developer forums.

"WWDC is when developers around the world fly into a high production-quality event, to learn things, ask questions at labs, get the idea and so forth. So if you want to launch a big idea, like moving to SwiftUI, you have to get developers together, to ask questions, and get things solved and move on," Paul Hudson, author of Hacking With Swift, and a four-time WWDC attendee, said.

Apple is not the only big tech company to move its developer conference to an online, video-first format this year -- Google and Microsoft did the same, and Facebook canceled its entirely. But WWDC is a critical event for Apple as well as its only public-facing conference, and the success of its new format will partially determine how many apps optimized for the new operating systems will launch alongside the new software this fall. Apple said in its most recent annual filing that its future financial performance depends in part on support from third-party software developers.

Not all developers go to WWDC last year, most tickets were distributed through a lottery, so some people who wanted to go couldn't.

77.5% of respondents to an iOS developer survey conducted in December and January said that they believe it's important to follow along with Apple's videos and news remotely, and only 10% said it was important to attend if they had a ticket.

But for the 6,000 people who would have attended an in-person WWDC this year, the remote format eliminates two of the biggest draws for the conference: face time with Apple engineers who built the software and networking with similar-minded people and friends.

Apple said earlier this week that it will upload over 100 videos featuring Apple engineers during WWDC week. A batch of videos will be uploaded each morning at 10am, and can be viewed on the web or in Apple apps. These are a replacement for class-like "sessions" on topics like Apple's App Store review process or the specific peculiarities of under-the-hood software that were traditionally held at the conference center.

"Dub Dub, one of the best things about it is that all the talks are done by the engineers that who made the stuff. They're not done by marketing or product managers," Hudson said. "The folks on stage, they're saying 'I coded this feature pretty much,' and you're getting it straight from the horse's mouth."

In addition to sessions, Apple holds "labs" which gives attendees the chance to get in-person help from an Apple engineer on a specific topic. This year, to replace the labs, Apple is turning to videoconferencing. Anyone who has a registered Apple developer account will be able to request a lab appointment, and availability is limited, Apple said.

Apple will also redesign developer forums on its website to make it easier for people to ask questions of Apple engineers remotely. The new design will launch on June 18.

The remote format will also limit the social aspects of the conference. In previous years, attendees have gone to events including morning runs, sushi dinners, and even trips to Costco during WWDC week. Attendees have played games like collecting a full set of free enamel pins that Apple gave out. This year, all of that is cancelled.

Many developers are responding by trying to create community online by creating Slack groups, wrangling developer blogs, and scheduling online Zoom meetups. On Kickstarter, Apple fans have paid over $15,000 for unofficial WWDC enamel pins.

Adrian Eves, an iOS developer based in Alabama, said he plans to take all of WWDC week off work so he can follow along with the videos and announcements. He's created a Slack group called WWDC Lobbyto discuss the announcements in real-time with other fans, including Apple employees.

"Since everything's remote, we need a way to adapt ourselves to this experience. I've been to different conferences, and the best thing is, besides the subject matter, the networking," Eves said.

On the plus side, developers will save a lot of money by not traveling to San Jose. Hotels are frequently fully booked during WWDC week, and in past years, a ticket to the conference cost $1,599 per person.

For independent developers and companies that send several people, the savings could be substantial.

"WWDC moving online is terrific for smaller developers, particularly those based abroad. Even for us, WWDC being online will save us upwards of $100,000 on event sponsorships, travel, and accommodation, since most of our team is based in Europe," saidOleksandr Kosovan, CEO of MacPaw, a software developer focused on Apple products.

Because there won't be 6,000 people pumping money into the restaurants, hotels, and bars near the San Jose convention center, Apple said in March that it planned to give $1 million to local San Jose organizations to offset revenue loss. An Apple representative declined to give further information on the donation.

Even with the high cost of attending and potential safety risks associated with the ongoing pandemic, there is significant demand from developers if WWDC goes back to a in-person event next year. Eves said he would "absolutely" go next year.

Coding looks intimidating, but you can learn it like any other skill. Just start with the basics.

My husband is a tech guy through and through -- tinkering in code to build simple apps and websites just for fun. I'm not. I knew my way around MySpace HTML back in the day (enough to change my background at least) and could navigate WordPress for my college newspaper, but those skills are quite rusty now.

Learning to code is a valuable skill for almost anyone working in our digital world. And though unemployment levels are high due to the coronavirus pandemic, tech companies like Apple and Amazon are still hiring. Picking up some coding skills could help you get a foot in the door.

Before you get started, it's important to know that the language you'll want to learn -- Python, Javascript, C#, or one of hundreds of others -- hinges on what you want to do with it, like build a website, an app or a game. For example, if you're interested in learning coding to working in a professional setting, you might want to explore Python, Java or C#, which are all in-demand by many companies.

We've pulled together five beginner online classes that explore the foundational concepts of coding. Some touch on specific languages, and some stay more general. But all can help you get your start learning a programming language.

The Coding for Beginners course describes itself as a foundational level course for complete beginners that introduces students to common coding concepts like bugs, pseudo code and how code runs. The concepts can then be applied to whichever programming language you go on to learn. Over 30 lectures will help you build the skillset to build a simple app in both coding languages Scratch and Python, the final project of the course.

What it costs: Some online classes on Skillshare are free when you create an account, but most require a premium membership, which costs $99 annually or $19 a month. You can sign up for 14 free days of unlimited classes. The premium membership is also ad-free and lets you download classes to your mobile device and watch offline.

Digital agency founder Evan Kimbrell's pre-programming course also starts with foundational concepts, like how the computer itself, the internet and operating systems fit into programming. This might sound too basic, but if you're just starting on your learning journey, it's helpful context.

Eventually, the lessons focus in on the core concepts of coding, different programming languages, front-end and back-end frameworks, application programming interfaces (APIs), content management systems (CMS) and other more advanced concepts.

What it costs: Udemy's course prices are set by the individual instructors from a price tier, unless they choose to offer them for free. The course cost $14 during a special sale.

Software engineer Cas Van Gool's course focuses on the basics of programming found in any software language. The class tackles topics like variables, strings, integers, if-statements, while-statements, for-statements and for each-statements. Van Gool provides step-by-step exercises and build projects with C#, from shopping lists to minigames. You'll also need to download the free Visual Studio Code source code editor program from Microsoft for this course.

This course would be useful if you're interested in coding for games or getting started on a professional level.

What it costs: Some online classes on Skillshare are free when you create an account, but most require a premium membership, which costs $99 annually or $19 a month. You can sign up for 14 free days of unlimited classes. The premium membership is also ad-free and lets you download classes to your mobile device and watch offline.

The Programming Foundations with Javascript, HTML and CSS course, offered through Duke University, explores skills like HTML, JavaScript, Java programming and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). You'll learn how to write programs, solve complex problems, design algorithms, and test and debug your programs.

The programming foundations course is part of the five-course Java Programming and Software Engineering Fundamentals Specialization. You can enroll in a single course to get started and earn a certificate, or audit the class and review the materials for free. The Java Programming and Software Engineering Fundamentals Specialization is considered a beginner specialization, and if you subscribe to one course, you'll be included in the whole specialization.

The course requires a laptop or desktop computer for Java programming and that you make a free account on CodePen.io. If you choose to continue with the other courses, you'll need to install Bluej, free software for Java development.

This course would be most useful if you're interested in coding for websites.

What it costs: In comparison with Skillshare or Udemy, Coursera operates more like a traditional online college course with enrollment windows. Sometimes the certificates you earn can apply as a credit at an institution, but it has to be stated. When you sign up for Coursera, you get a seven-day free trial and then it costs $49 a month. You can also choose to audit the class for free, which lets you read and view the course content only.

Again, what you ultimately want to do with your programming skills will determine what coding language you'll want to learn. What I liked about the Coding for Beginners course on Udemy is that it touches on the basics of five different programming languages -- Javascript, Python, Ruby, HTML and CSS. You'll get to dabble in each language and build applications like calculators, digital clocks, music players and blog pages. This helps give you a taste of how each operates while also giving you some hands-on experience and projects.

What it costs: Udemy's course prices are set by the individual instructors from a price tier, unless they choose to offer them for free. This course costs $14 during a special sale.
