    Silicon Valley Code Camp Was Great

    This past weekend, Telerik Insider Ben Hoelting and I presented at the Silicon Valley Code Camp, where Telerik was proud to be one of the Platinum sponsors.  Attendance came in at over 2500 attendees, and there were a whole host of great sessions on both days.  The weather was great, and the attendees were very engaged. We had a steady stream of conversations at the booth, and Ben was kept busy talking about KendoUI on both days.  There was also a great deal of interest in Icenium, as well as all of our other Telerik products.         Happy Coding!
