    The Survey Results are In!

    I put out a survey about two weeks ago to ask you what controls you want to see in upcoming RadTips episodes. The 155 responses I received were spread fairly evenly, but it looks like the controls you are most interested in learning more about are the RadGrid, RadAjax, OpenAccessDataSource, & RadInputManager controls. Thanks to all who participated in the survey. Keep an eye out on my blog in the coming weeks as I start to deliver new RadTips that help you squeeze all the functionality out of these controls. If you have any specific features that you'd like to see me...

    Pictures from the Road

    Conference season has been in full swing for the past couple of months, and I must say I'm glad things are settling down so I can get back into my normal routine. All this traveling has been fun - especially the opportunities to meet Telerik customers and many great members of the .NET community - but I'm ready to see the end of airports and conference halls for a few months. Those of you who travel to all the conferences and speak for a living, I have a newfound respect for you! One of the cool things that I've brought home...

    Look Ma, I’m on TV!

    Seems I’ve gotten my 15 minutes of fame after all (more like 5). During PDC’08 Todd and I had the chance to meet with Adam Kinney from Microsoft and talk about one of the coolest new telerik products – the WPF Charts and Gauges. The video is now up on Channel 9 and can be accessed here. In the mean while we pulled off our first release and the charts and gauges are now a part of the WPF controls suite. You can see them in all their splendor here. If you are excited about the charts as we are – share...

    Only the Cool People Subscribe to Us!

    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....
