    We are proud to announce that the rich set of client and server-side features in RadGrid has grown with two new long-awaited members.

    It’s been almost a year since I left my role at Microsoft as Director of Product Management for Visual Studio. Ever since I left, I’ve had lots of people asking what I am working on now, and I’ve been pretty quiet about it (the running joke is that I am the VP of Black Ops). The truth is that my team and I have been very busy solving what we believe to be one of the biggest challenges facing developers today and building a new product that will crush the barrier to entry for developers wanting to build applications that run natively on mobile devices.
