• Win DevExpress software at BASTA!

  Come and see us on the DevExpress stand for your chance to win a copy of DXperience Enterprise at next week’s BASTA! Conference. On the road again Next week, the DevExpress Fun Bus will be on the road again. This time to Mainz in Germany, to attend the BASTA! Conference at the wonderful Rheingoldhalle. Gary and I will venture overseas to Germany to participate in this top-quality German event. You’ll have the opportunity to see some great speakers, including Dino Esposito, Christian Weyer, Dominick Baier and Ted Neward. I am a huge fan of the large variety of delectable German sausage and white beer available, for my own personal consumption, in Germany. And in such cases as these, I always feel that it is only fair that I should give back to a nation that has allowed me to eat so much. With that in mind … Good news for BASTA! attendees While we revel in the glorious conference location on the banks of the Rhine, we will be catching up with DevExpress alumnus, Oliver Sturm. Oliver will be delivering a daily lunchtime demo on a selection of DevExpress products on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 1.30pm. Come to the DevExpress booth at 1.30pm, pick up a free t-shirt and take your chance at winning a free license to the DevExpress products. See you in Germany!
