Telerik DevCraft – A Morning Dew Giveaway

Posted on | by Alvin A. | 103 Comments on Telerik DevCraft – A Morning Dew Giveaway

Hello, readers!

It’s been a while since I have done a giveaway on The Morning Dew. Let’s kick off the summer with a big one.

Telerik DevCraft UI Edition

The Telerik DevCraft bundles include everything a Microsoft-centric developer needs to create great applications. The UI Edition contains over 420 controls covering web, desktop and mobile platforms. Here’s a list of the included packages:

DevCraft

Every edition of DevCraft includes the source code, product updates for one year and unlimited support tickets for one year.

I have been using Telerik products for a number of years now (primarily the WPF and Windows Phone products), and I have found their controls to be among the most intuitive and powerful available for .NET developers.

Be sure to check out some of their demos available online.

The Giveaway

The Morning Dew is giving away a DevCraft UI Edition license, a $1,299 value, to one lucky reader. Enter by leaving a comment on this post. In the comment, give us one of your best development productivity tips. Duplicate or multiple comments will not increase your chances of winning. Comments left through 11:59PM EDT on Friday, July 11th, 2014 will be eligible.

Winner will be selected at random from the eligible comments by Monday, July 14th. Please use a valid name and email address so that I can send it along to Telerik if you are chosen as the winner. Winner will be notified by a representative from Telerik shortly after they have been selected.

 

Good luck!
