Editor's note

Todd Anglin

It's hard to believe, but we've already reached the third and final major Telerik release for the year. Q3 2011 has just been released, and even though the year is already winding towards its eventual conclusion, Telerik has not slowed the pace of innovation one bit!

In a year that has already delivered three new products - RadControls for Windows Phone, JustTrace, and JustDecompile - in addition to major updates across Telerik's vast product portfolio, Q3 2011 is the icing on the cake. This release delivers tons of new controls and features, in everything from ASP.NET AJAX to Silverlight to JustCode. As XAML and Microsoft evolve in to the future, Telerik remains committed to supporting you, our customer, with the tools you need to be productive on any platform: Silverlight, WPF, WinForms, ASP.NET, Windows Phone, and in the near future HTML5.

Speaking of WinForms, there is an incredible demo you've got to see that shows-off the new Metro panorama control, plus touch (and multi-touch) support in RadControls for WinForms. You really won't believe it's WinForms. Check it out in the Q3 What's New Video now available on Telerik TV.

Finally, starting Monday, November 28, we'll host a series of live webinars designed to help you quickly understand everything that's new in Q3 2011. This is a great way to start your journey with Q3, so be sure to register today for all of the webinars and join us the week of the 28th for some valuable training.

On behalf of the hundreds of product engineers at Telerik that have worked tirelessly to deliver Q1, Q2, and Q3 2011, we hope that you enjoy the new release and find that it delivers more than expected.

Chief Evangelist, Telerik
