Fancy an all expenses paid trip to PDC 2009?

     

Here’s a little bit of recession-busting cheer …

DevExpress has teamed with INETA to support the INETA Component Code Challenge. This is your opportunity to create a .NET application of your choice (Winforms, ASP.NET, Silverlight, WPF) for the chance to win one of two full scholarships to the Microsoft PDC in November 2009.

WHAT A SCORE! INETACompCodeChallenge

Entry is so straight-forward you’d be crazy not to give it a go:

  • Pick your 2 favourite component vendors and use their controls to create a .NET application
  • Make component movie magic to show off your creation in a 3-5 minute WMV file 
  • Submit your entry to INETA (codechallenge@ineta.org) by August 25th 2009

If you submit your entry using DevExpress controls why not upload it to the DevExpress Facebook fan page so that we can revel in your creative genius as well!

You have four weeks and counting … what are you waiting for?

[NB: Please make sure to read all the fine print for INETA’s Component Code Challenge before entering. There are some restrictions in place that, unfortunately, we have no control over.]

@ Colin & Chris ... Bad times guys :( But as I say, that is their fine print and not ours unfortunately. Maybe if we garner enough support, perhaps INETA will accept worldwide entries next year.

@ Karl ... we're hoping for some news very soon. The R&D team is currently ironing out final issues before they make the release available. Rest assured, as soon as we know you will know too :)
