Just coming back from Mainz, Germany where Basta 2009 took place this week. It was a great conference where Telerik provided Silver Sponsorship and very nice lanyards to the approximately 700 attendees.
Stephen Forte enjoyed speaking at a German conference for the first time. Check out his post about how to write a WCF service and then call it from Silverlight asynchronously. Telerik OpenAccess ORM expert Jan Blessenohl also gave a presentation on ORM and RIA Services.
You can see a photo from our booth on the evening before the show - as usual Telerik was early and well prepared.
Many professional developers stopped by our booth tosee a productdemo or just to chat with Telerik representatives. Most visitors were really enthusiastic about our new Silverlight 3 controls and the just-launched free TFS tools. Certainly they were also wondering what the new Telerik product will be...
Around 350 people were pretty happy to receive the cool Telerik .NET Ninja T-Shirt and take part in our raffle to win a Telerik Premium Collection, a XBOX or a trip to the famous Oktoberfest with our Munich team next week.
We were really happy to bring Basta visitors' feedback to our teams and start getting ready for TechEd Europe.
Greetings,
Basta team
