    3/4 of the Telerik Evangelism crew (Todd, Gabe, & John) In case you missed Todd's announcement, Telerik welcomed two new evangelists back in September. Many of you have met (or maybe already knew) John and Gabe at the many conferences we've been attending lately. Last month we were at DevReach in Bulgaria and PDC in Los Angeles, and next week we'll be at DevConnections in Las Vegas. During PDC Todd recorded a nice introduction video for all of us in an episode of Telerik Watch Minute (I'm the goofy guy in the Howdy shirt). But whether you've met John and Gabe or not, how many of you...

    Small Businesses, Meet BizSpark

    About a year ago, Microsoft launched a cool new program called DreamSpark to help students get started learning to use Microsoft development technologies. DreamSpark allows students to access a wide range of development software from a secure site, allowing them download fully-licensed products like Visual Studio 2008 Professional, SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition, Windows Server 2008, and XNA Game Studio 2.0, among others. I have always thought this was a cool initiative on Microsoft's part to help those developers who don't have the financial means to gain access to these products themselves. Well, it seems Microsoft is at it again. Today S....

    Telerik is Live from PDC

    PDC is in full force at the LA Convention Center. The keynote was somewhat bland, but the big news of the day is Windows Azure. Microsoft's cloud services offering, Azure promises to allow developers to host and manage their applications in the cloud, scaling storage and computing resources on demand without concern for the infrastructure that will support them. With Azure, developers will be have access to the entire spectrum of Microsoft LOB development technologies (SQL Services, Sharepoint Services, .NET Services, etc) in the cloud.

    Booths to visit if you'll be at PDC2008 and if you're inspired by the future

    Ok, Todd and Kevin already blogged about our presence at PDC this year and I'll second them. We have so many things to show that it's a petty PDC is only 4 days long, we'll need at least 2 weeks to show everything. Of course we have to show mercy to all the Telerik guys who will be nonstop at the Telerik booth so 4 days should be enough :)   Todd and Kevin already mentioned all the products, new features and releases we're about to demo at our booth. We'll also demo 2 "secret" projects which will show you the combined power of WPF and the new ways...
