Time flies when you're having fun, producing best-in-class software. Four months have quickly passed since the official Q1 2011 release, and today it's time to introduce Telerik's Q2 2011 release to the world! Telerik's second major release of 2011 is loaded with improvements across the board, shipping updates for 14 different products today. It's a feat of incredible planning and process (thanks, TeamPulse!), not to mention high-quality product engineering, to consistently ship simultaneous updates on this scale.

As we reach the half-way point of 2011 and start looking to the future, we see the software landscape is shifting and creating important questions for your teams. Will you invest in XAML? In HTML5? In ORM for data access? Clearly, there will never be a "one-size-fits-all" software platform, so picking the right platform may vary from team to team, or even project to project. The one constant is the Telerik toolbox, which is armed with the tools and UI components you need for any direction the industry may take. In Q2 2011, we focus on delivering updates that prepare you for the future, while continuing to enrich the applications of today.

Learn more about how this release is helping reduce your exposure to the risk of an ever-evolving software landscape, and more about the Q2 2011 release highlights, by continuing the conversation on my blog. Enjoy the Q2 2011 release and don't forget to register for the Q2 2011 Webinar Week that starts this Monday, July 18!
