The Final Cut - Jeff Cosby's DevExpress Blog

Using CodeRush will make you a faster and better developer. That’s Mark Miller’s mantra and the reason why he does such great CodeRush demos. Because you can see the proof in the pudding.

Mark also loves a good challenge. So at this year’s Microsoft Professional Developer’s Conference, you can challenge him to a coding duel. And you have the advantage because you get to use the keyboard while he uses an XBOX Guitar with CodeRush !?!

There will be prizes for winning and prizes just for stepping up to the plate!  So get your popcorn out and try not to spit that soda up on your keyboards, because you may need them come November! Enjoy....

Shooting the video was fun. Check out these outtakes. (Warning: The outtakes are hilarious!)

There’s more information and videos coming too so keep your eyes peeled!

We've got a new look and I thought you might like to check out the screenshots. Here they are:

Check out the first new video below and then drop me a line below with your thoughts.

Sneak Peek: ASP.NET Time Edit Control

To all of those that came by the DevExpress booth this year at TechEd, you may have seen our new graphics play on the big screen.  It's a 30 second promo that shows off all our products with the use of our icons.  We are using this as the road map for the look and feel of the new site design.  So if you have 30 seconds to spare, I invite you to click on the link below and enjoy!  On a sad note, we will be saying goodbye to that lovely tune that opens almost every video we do.

Microsoft PDC 2008 is less than a month away and I would like to invite our loyal customers to stop by our booth where Erica, Amanda and I will be conducting customer interviews.  So come by and share your developer stories with us and the rest of the community.

See you at PDC :)

This latest video focuses on creating custom skins using Adobe Photoshop and our Skin Editor. So sit back, relax and give me some skin!

Oh how I miss when Gary and Oliver come to town.  It seems as if every time we're ready to record something of great importance, we end up with about 5 minutes of footage like this...

Mark recently blogged about the ROI for CodeRush and Refactor! Pro. Here is a 20 minute interview we did with Mark about the value of CodeRush and Refactor! Pro.

Not all the videos we create here at DevExpress make it on to our website.  We have a vault of bloopers and it grows every day.  I had to pull this video out of that blooper vault for you guys.  Ray and I laugh at this one every time.  Let us know what you think.

Hi there, my name is Jeff Cosby and I’m the newest member of the DevExpress team.  I will be running the video production department from our new office in Glendale CA.

We have a lot of very interesting things planned and I look forward to sharing some of those ideas with all of you over the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you have any requests as they relate to videos/tutorials, do let me know. I can be reached via email at “jeffc AT devexpress.com”

For those interested, here are a few pics of the equipment I will be using.
