Telerik Acquires Vanatec and Telerik OpenAccess ORM

Telerik is excited to announce the official acquisition of Vanatec, a German company specialized in Object Relational Mapping (ORM) software. The latest acquisition will allow Telerik to offer an Enterprise-grade ORM product to its customer base and marks another step in the company's strategy to reduce development complexity in .NET applications.

The German team will continue to work primarily on the ORM software. The Munich office will grow to become Telerik's hub for servicing customers from Western Europe. This follows the Telerik's efforts to build regional sales and technical support operations.

Vanatec OpenAccess will be rebranded to Telerik OpenAccess ORM and it will be made immediately available to Telerik customers with the upcoming Q3 release that is scheduled for the week of November 3, 2008. During the months leading up to the Q1 2009 release, a lot of substantial improvements will be implemented: new wizards and intuitive design-time, effortless integration with all Telerik products, as well as a number of powerful new features.

DevReach 2008 - Huge Success!

This year's 3rd edition of DevReach, the premier event for professional developers in Eastern Europe, was a huge success, gathering more than 450 visitors from over 15 countries - a significantly higher number of international presence than previous years. Due to the huge interest, all tickets were sold out weeks prior the event.

DevReach 2008 brought in an amazing array of great speakers to educate the .NET developer in Eastern Europe about the latest technologies. Among the big names in the .NET World were Stephen Forte, Miguel Castro, Tim Huckaby, Carl Franklin and many others. The speakers helped lead over 40 sessions in two days.

This year's keynote was titled "Data Access Smackdown", presented by Stephen Forte. He discussed and demonstrated the new .NET 3.5 SP1 release and its new data access methodologies: ADO.NET Data Services and the Entity Framework. A video recording of the keynote is available at the DevReach website.

One of the most attended sessions was dedicated to the introduction of a new Microsoft project codenamed "Dublin"- an application server technology that will surface in Windows Server. The session was presented by Georgi Kremenliev, a Program Manager in Microsoft's Connected Systems Division.

Participants were also pleasantly surprised by the addition of 4 bonus sessions. These were presented by 3 new speakers that were not included in the original lineup. Among the new speakers was Jan Blessenohl, co-founder and CTO of Vanatec which was recently acquired by Telerik and is the maker of the Object/Relational Mapper OpenAccess.

All presentation slides are available for download at: http://www.devreach.com/Event/Sessions.aspx

The fun part at the end of conference additionally boosted the spirit. There was an exclusive party for all VIP attendees, which was an excellent networking opportunity with all the speakers. The organized raffles pleasantly surprised the participants with some cool prizes - such as a Big Screen Plasma TV and a Free Pass to TechEd Barcelona.

Telerik would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the participants for their interest and enthusiasm. We hope that we'll see you again next year!

Telerik RadControls in Microsoft ASP.ET MVC

Telerik RadControls in Microsoft ASP.NET MVC

One of our most exciting product novelties is that RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX are able to work in the new Microsoft ASP.NET MVC framework. Now, with the help of the market leading RadControls you can continue to build rich UI applications even in this innovative environment. The great benefit of ASP.NET MVC is that your web apps are much more easily testable than the current Web Forms model. And since all of the core contracts in the framework are interface-based, testing is even easier as you can mock out dependencies and focus on the specific component being testing.

We have created a series of blog posts and several examples demonstrating how to use RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX as pure client-side components in this environment. Check out the following postings:
