Recap from TechEd Floor – Day 2

The second day begun really good for our TechEd crew, as Code Project in their Tech|Ed release awarded Telerik the best developer productivity tool in Silverlight category. In addition, Telerik is in the running for three “Best of TechEd” awards this year!

• Best Database Development Tools (with OpenAccess ORM)
• Best BI Tools (with Telerik Reporting)
• Best Software Components (with Telerik Ultimate Collection)

While winning any of these would be great, even inclusion for such prestigious awards is a great honour for all of us at Telerik. Stay tuned – I’ll post you on any exciting developments here.

Inspired by the awards, nominations and feedback we received at TechEd we decided to conduct a few interviews with developers who use Telerik tools. Here is the first one, and you can expect many more to come in the future via TelerikTV
