Revit Recommendations

I've had the opportunity to do a lot more with Revit Building (must be specific now days with so many from which to choose) lately. Here's some helpful information all in one place for handy reference.

System Recommendations
Certified Hardware

Books
Two excellent books I would highly recommend for any library.
Introducing & Implementing Autodesk Revit Building by Lay Christopher Fox and James J. Balding, AIA.
ISBN: 1418020567
Both these guys have been around Revit for a long time and are a wealth of knowledge.

Mastering Autodesk Revit Building by Paul F. Aubin
ISBN: 1418020532
You may have heard me brag about Paul's books on ADT. His Revit text is just as great.

The best bet is to buy the pair. Amazon.com discounts them substantially if you buy them together.

Communities
AUGI has its own Revit Community with forums, galleries, tips and tricks, and more. Membership is free and you can almost always count on a Revit article in AUGIWorld magazine that you receive bi-monthly.
