Mid-April we’re off to Bangalore in India to the Great Indian Developer Summit (GIDS). And, wow, is it “Great”: they’re promising over 10,000 attendees. DevExpress is a Platinum Sponsor of the conference and those of us who’ll be there will be presenting sessions on our favorite topics (for instance, Gary and Mark will be doing a two-hander on technical debt and how to refactor your code to solve it). Even I will be donning the lapel mic and presenting, and let me tell you it’s been a while.
Apart from the sessions where attendees learn from the various speakers, there’s a whole slew of events, including the Great Indian Developer Awards IV presentation. This is where you come in, dear reader: you can vote for your favorite controls and libraries from DevExpress and have your name put in a hat for the first prize of an iPad. You don’t have to be there or even live in India; it’s open to everyone.
Our products are nominated in four separate categories:
1. Development Environment Category. CodeRush.
8. Web Development Category. DXperience ASP.NET.
10. Frameworks Category. eXpressApp Framework (XAF) and eXpress Persistent Objects (XPO).
11. Database & Reporting Category. DevExpress Analytics.
So, if you feel like trying for that iPad and voting for your favorite DevExpress products at the same time, pop over to the Great Indian Developer Awards voting form (or click on the image) and fill it out. We’d be most appreciative.
Of course, if you’re going to be there at GIDS make sure you stop by and say hello. And if you’re feeling really adventurous come to my talk...
