Q1 2012 Webinar Week, Prizes

I know it seems like I just blogged about the Q3 2011 Webinar Week, and in some ways you're right. The Q1 2012 release is coming a bit earlier this year, so that means it is time for another week of info-packed webinars and prizes.

Following the success of the Q3 2011 format change, we will once again be hosting multiple events each day during the Webinar Week. This helps us get as much information as we can distributed to you so you can jump-in to the release bits. The week of web events will kick-off on Monday, February 20th.

Here's the overall schedule:

Date	Time	Topic
Monday, Feb 20	9:30 AM	XAML (Silverlight & WPF)
	11:00 AM	Test Studio
	12:30 PM	Data Tools
	2:00 PM	WinForms & Reporting
Tuesday, Feb 21	9:30 AM	AJAX & MVC
	11:00 AM	Tools for Better Code
	12:30 PM	Windows Phone
Wednesday, Feb 22	9:30 AM	Kendo UI (HTML5)
	11:00 AM	Sitefinity 5.0
	12:30 PM	TeamPulse (Agile Project Mgmt)

That's a lot of content! As usual, you can easily sign-up for one or all of these events using the Telerik simplified webinar registration form. Just check the boxes next to the events you want to attend, fill-out the simple form, and sign-up.

For most events, we will raffle one Telerik Ultimate Collection ($1999 value) to the live attendees. The more events you attend, the more chances you have to win. Bribery? Sure. In the name of having fun with another loaded Telerik release.

The Sitefinity, TeamPulse, and Test Studio events will separately raffle licenses for those products. Same rules apply, though. Must be present to win.

That's about it. Register today! We're only two week away from the Webinar Week, so register now before you forget.

Q3 2011 Webinar Week, This Week!

I know. I've been a bad steward of TelerikWatch this year. Well off my normal pace of 200+ posts per year, TelerikWatch has been silent much more than normal. That's not for lack of activity and change at Telerik. Far from it! In fact, it's precisely because there is so much happening at Telerik that TelerikWatch has suffered. That said, let me address the news of the moment...

The Telerik Q3 2011 Webinar Week begins today!

Unlike the Webinar Weeks from the last few releases, this time we're doing things a little differently. With more than 12 products to talk about, we needed a new format that would let us cover more topics in fewer days, so with Q3 2011 there will be multiple webinars today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. The full schedule for the week looks like this:

Date	Time	Topic
Monday, Nov 28	9:30 AM	Kick-off, Webinar Week Overview
	11:00 AM	Silverlight & WPF
	12:30 PM	Data Tools
Tuesday, Nov 29	9:30 AM	Windows Phone
	11:00 AM	AJAX & MVC
	12:30 PM	Tools for Better Code
	2:00 PM	Test Studio
Wednesday, Nov 30	9:30 AM	Preparing for Windows 8
	11:00 AM	Putting It All Together
	12:30 PM	Sitefinity 4
Thursday, Dec 1	11:00 AM	Kendo UI Launch Webinar

(All times Eastern Standard Time)


To register for any (and all) of the webinars, just visit Telerik.com and use the super-simplified registration form. One form submission is all it takes to register for the entire week (if you have the time).

Since the schedule is kind of complex, and since a few of these events need some more explanation, you should plan on joining me, this morning (Monday) at 9:30 AM Eastern. I'll cover the entire schedule and explain in more detail how the week is going to work.

Each webinar will also raffle away one Telerik Ultimate Collection ($2000 value)! The more webinars you attend live, the more chances you have to win. We'll email winners within 24hrs of the event and post the winners to Twitter (@telerik).

That's pretty much it. Of course, all of this is happening because of the Telerik Q3 2011 release two weeks ago (which I assume you've downloaded by now!), and I'm very sorry I haven't blogged more about that yet on TelerikWatch. Make sure you catch all of the release coverage on the Telerik.com Blogs.

For now, we've got a full week of live web events for you to enjoy. It's not too late to register or to attend more webinars for more chances at prizes. I hope to see you online this week!

Q2 2011 Webinar Week Info

The webinars on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be done live twice each day: once at 11 AM Eastern (for US and European customers) and once at 10 PM Eastern (for India/Asia-Pacific...or night owls in the US). To convert the local event time to your timezone, try this handy online timezone conversion.

And we've got prizes! For each webinar, we will be giving away a Telerik Ultimate Collection (our $2,000 bundle) to a randomly selected live attendee.

Finally, let me urge you to join us for the special Friday event. We've expanded the "Conference Tracker" integration app to feature the Telerik controls for WIndows Phone, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, OpenAccess ORM, Telerik Reporting, WebUI Test Studio, TeamPulse, Sitefinity...pretty much everything in the Telerik portfolio to show you how the tools work great together for building applications. Friday's event will walk you through it all!

Q3 2010 Webinar Week, Register Now

 

Q3 2010 has arrived, and with it, TONS of new features and controls for you to wrap your mind around. If you received today's Telerik Newsletter, you also saw my new challenge for you: expand your horizons and try a Telerik tool from the Ultimate Collection you've not tried before (I'm guessing there's at least one). Telerik helps you be productive at more than just building UI these days, so I encourage you to discover how we can help you save time at the data layer, the business layer, during testing and QA, and even with project planning.

Since there is so much new stuff, and since I know you're taking-up my challenge right away, we're here to help you get started with another info-packed Webinar Week. There are two important things to know about this webinar week:

1. It starts on Monday, November 15th
2. There will be 2 webinars per day!
   • On Monday and Tuesday, it'll be the same webinar to help those of you in other time zones (like Australia and New Zealand)
   • For the rest of the week, it'll be two different events. More on that below.

Free JustCode, JustMock licenses for all Thursday webinar attendees (update)

Sometimes people use the saying “Everyone’s a winner,” when in fact everyone is not a winner. If you join us tomorrow for the JustCode, JustMock and OpenAccess ORM webinar, though, you will be a winner! Everyone is truly a winner tomorrow because everyone that attends the Q2 2010 What’s New webinar will get free licenses for both JustCode and JustMock, Telerik’s powerful Visual Studio productivity tools. That’s $500 worth of software just for attending the live webinar event!

To get your complimentary licenses, register now for the webinar, and then join us tomorrow, July 22nd at 11:00 AM Eastern. You must attend the live event to get your license.

If you’ve never worked with JustCode or JustMock, this is your lucky week. Both tools can save you tons of time while coding or testing in Visual Studio, especially with the new features in Q2 2010. JustCode, for instance, includes a built-in Unit Test Runner and powerful solution-wide code analysis, while JustMock makes it easy to mock anything (including LinqToSql or EntityFramework). Don’t miss your one chance to get these tools pro-bono! Clear your calendar and we’ll see you at 11:00 AM.

Register now for JustCode, JustMock webiar

[UPDATE: The emails with the free license codes have been sent. Check your inboxes and spam folders to get your code and claim your free copy of JustCode and JustMock.]

Q2 2010 Webinar Week underway, Videos on Telerik TV

Quick! If you’ve already missed the first two Webinar Week webinars, you’ve still got time to catch the remaining events this week and next. Everyday this week at 11 AM Eastern, we’re hosting a live webinar to help you get started with the Q2 2010 bits from Telerik. Yesterday, we kicked things off and talked about What’s New in AJAX and MVC (recording embedded above). Today we just wrapped-up an overview of What’s New in Reporting and WinForms. And tomorrow we’re talking XAML.

To register for any of the upcoming webinars, visit this post and follow the quick registration links.

Also, don’t forget about our upcoming “Ask the Experts” webinar on Friday, August 5th. It’s the perfect time to bring your questions and get answers live from Telerik Evangelists, Developer Support Specialists, and Telerik MVPs.

Otherwise, we hope you continue to enjoy Q2 2010 and all that it has to offer. If you’re still try to get your hands on a Q2 2010 Ultimate Collection license, you’ll definitely want to join the webinars where you’ll have a chance everyday to win Telerik software!

Q2 2010 Webinar Week registration is open (update)

As the hot summer months start to set-in, it’s almost time for another Telerik release!

As another Telerik Evangelist said, “it’s like release notes on steroids.”

Clearly, you don’t want to miss these webinars. Only people attending the live events will have a shot at winning Telerik Ultimate Collections (our newest “super bundle,” $1999 value), so don’t wait for the Telerik TV recordings. We’ll give away at least one Ultimate Collection per webinar.

Another Webinar Week starts Tuesday, License giveaways

As many of you know, at Telerik we like to run “Webinar Weeks” around the time of a release to help you quickly get up-to-speed with all of the new features, controls, and (increasingly) products that are part of a Quintessential release. Most recently, we hosted the Q1 2010 Webinar Week and hundreds of you joined us live to learn. This week, we are hosting another new Webinar Week!

With all of last week’s announcements, April is almost as big- if not equally big- as our “official” Q1 Release Week. That means you’ve probably got tons of questions, and it definitely means we’ve got tons to share. A Webinar Week is the perfect solution.

Everything starts on Tuesday, April 20th at 11 AM Eastern with lots of chances to win free software:

1. Introduction to JustMock, Tuesday, April 20th
   Co-hosted by Josh Holt and Lead Developer Mehfuz Hossain. A great introduction to mocking and how JustMock makes it easy. Everyone attending live will get a FREE JustMock license.
2. Introduction to TeamPulse, Wednesday, April 21st
   Hosted by Joel Semeniuk, EVP Team Productivity Tools. Come learn more about what TeamPulse does for teams and how it creates a planning sandbox for TFS. Everyone attending live will get a FREE TeamPulse license.
3. Introduction to WebUI Test Studio QA Edition, Thursday, April 22nd
   Hosted by Chris Eyhorn, EVP Testing Tools. An introduction to the brand new QA edition of WebUI Test Studio. One Test Studio QA Edition license ($2500 value) will be raffled to live attendees.
4. Introduction to WebUI Test Studio Developer Edition, Friday, April 23rd
   Also hosted by Chris Eyhorn. Learn what’s new in the developer-oriented version of WebUI Test Studio. One Test Studio Dev Edition license ($1500 value) will be raffled to live attendees.

Clearly, you don’t want to miss these webinars. Each starts at 11 AM Eastern, and, of course, we’ll be recording for those that can’t attend live. Register for each using the links above and we’ll see you on Tuesday!

Q1 Webinar Week wrap-up

Let me take a quick break from the MIX action to deliver a post I tried to pull together before jumping on the plane to Vegas. Many of you joined us last week for the big Telerik Q1 2010 release and related Release Week Webinars. These daily webinars are your way to “jumpstart” your knowledge of “what’s new” in Q1 and our hope is that they make it easier for you to get started with the new bits.

The live webinars are great, especially with the extended Q & A, but we know not everyone can attend live. That’s why everything is recorded and on Telerik TV! Here are the direct links to all 4 Q1 2010 release week webinar recordings:

• What’s New in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and Telerik Extensions for MVC
• What’s New in the RadControls for Silverlight and WPF
• What’s New in the RadControls for WinForms and Telerik Reporting
• What’s New in OpenAccess ORM and JustCode

Enjoy the recordings and enjoy the Q1 release. More Q1 videos are hitting Telerik TV daily, so stay tuned for more helpful content.

Q1 2010 Webinar Week registration open

It's hard to believe, but the Q1 2010 release is just a few days away! Next week, Telerik will ship updates for all 8 Telerik developer products- RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, WinForms, Silverlight, WPF, Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC, Telerik Reporting, OpenAccess ORM, and JustCode. It's a big release (as all releases are at Telerik these days) and there are a lot of new and improved features to take-in.

How do you know where to start? The release Webinar Week.

Things kick-off on Tuesday, March 9th and then run every day next week. All webinars will be held at 11 AM EST (full time zone conversion) and all will be recorded for Telerik TV on-demand viewing. To join the webinars, register now:

• Tuesday What's New in Q1 2010 Overview + RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX & Extensions for MVC
• Wednesday What's New in RadControls for Silverlight & WPF
• Thursday What's New in RadControls for WinForms & Telerik Reporting
• Friday What's New in OpenAccess ORM & JustCode

We'll be giving away Telerik Premium Collections at all of the live webinar events (two for the kick-off event on Tuesday). You must attend live to win, so if you can make the live events, join us for extra chances at winning prizes.

We'll see you at 11:00 AM (EST) on Tuesday!

Webinar Replay: What's New in AJAX and MVC in Q3 2009

Another day, another Q3 2009 Release Week Webinar. Today we covered what's new in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. Literally hundreds of people tuned-in live to see what we are shipping in this release, so a big thanks to all of you for participating in our Q3 2009 release. The webinar was recorded, processed, and it is now available on Telerik TV for your on-demand viewing pleasure (in addition to being embedded above).

The webinar starts by covering what's new in the AJAX controls, focusing on the three new controls (Rating, SiteMap, and ListView + DataPager) and the major enhancements to the existing controls. After some demos and a look at the ListView design-time, we move on to discuss the Telerik Extensions for MVC. We look at the new demos, go through step-by-step adding the Extensions to a MVC project, and then wrap-up with some follow-up resources.

Enjoy the webinar content and to those of you that attended live, we'll be announcing today's "webinar winner" on Twitter very soon (@toddanglin)! Today's winner will get a Telerik Premium Collection license.

Q2 2009 Release Week Wrap-up, Resources, Winners

Did you guys enjoy that? The Q2 2009 Telerik Release Week was huge- not only because we shipped updates to all seven product lines, but because we filled the week with live webinars, new videos, and a lot of fun contests that we hoped you enjoyed. By now, you should be very familiar with what's new in the Telerik Q2 2009 release, and you should have a good idea of how to get started working with the latest Telerik bits. If you don't, don't worry. All of this week's webinars have been recorded and posted to Telerik TV for your on-going review and study: What's New in Telerik Q2 2009 Overview What's New in the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and WinForms in Q2 2009 What's New in the RadControls for OpenAccess ORM in Q2 2009 What's New in the RadControls for Silverlight and WPF in Q2 2009 Literally hundreds of you joined us for the live events, and several of you have already won some great prizes. Congrats again to Gary Hanken, Tarik Souirji, Richard Clements, Travis Spencer, Lachezar Balabanski, and Eric McVicker! We hope you guys enjoy your free Telerik licenses and the new Q2 bits. That, of course, leaves us with one more winner to announce this week: the Webinar Week Grand Prize Winner. This person is taking home a prize pack valued at over $3000 that includes a Telerik Premium Collection developer license and a pass to the 2009 PNP Summit. But before I announce that winner, let me highlight a few more resources that will help you in your "post Release Week" learning. While the big release event is over, the learning is not. There are already almost 10 new videos on Telerik TV showing you how to work with the new controls in the various Telerik product suites. By next week there will be more than 20. Continue to check Telerik TV regularly for more videos and more resources as we try to make it easier than ever to get started with the Telerik Tools. And while the Q2 release was big, Q3 is going to be even bigger. I wish I could share more now, but that would spoil the Q2 fun. Let's just say there are some very exciting and big announcements to watch for in the coming months and you definitely don't want to miss what's coming in Q3. I think that wraps things up for this week. Thanks again to everyone that participated in all the activities. We hope you enjoyed them and enjoyed the release. As always, send us your feedback and let us know how we can improve. We're here for you, so your feedback is very important. And without further ado, the Grand Prize Winner is... [click to find out] Chrysa Clahane! Congrats and thanks again to everyone for "playing." We will announce the Twitter Contest winners on Monday. You've got 'til midnight Eastern Time tonight to get those #telerikq209 tweets in! You can still win and win big.

Q2 2009 Webinars: RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and WinForms

Another Q2 2009 Release Week Webinar is in the can and ready for your immediate on-demand viewing on Telerik TV (and just above in this post). This webinar covers in more depth the new controls and features in the Q2 2009 RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and RadControls for WinForms releases. We cover the new controls in ASP.NET AJAX (RadListBox, RadCaptcha, RadXmlHttpPanel, and RadBinaryImage) and we cover the performance improvements and new RadDock in WinForms. This is a great way to get started with the new bits for these two Telerik suites in Q2, so I hope you enjoy recorded resource.

Telerik Q2 2009 Webinar Week, Prize Details and Schedule (update)

Smell that? That's a freshly baked release from Telerik that's just about ready to "officially" launch. The Q2 2009 release is one of the biggest releases in Telerik's history, again delivering simultaneous updates to all 7 Telerik product lines at one time. An update of this scale is bound to have lots new and interesting stuff, and we can't wait to put it in your hands so you can start playing with it. The official launch of Q2 2009 is Monday, July 6th, and to help you jump-off with the new bits and maximize your productivity with the Telerik tools, we'll be running another release "Webinar Week." But before I reveal the schedule for the Webinar Week, let me tell you about the prizes! There will be two ways to win prizes during the Q2 Webinar Week:

1. Every webinar will award 1 or 2 (depending on the products covered) individual product suite licenses to the people that attend the live event. All you have to do to enter is show-up to the live event and you will be in the pool for a randomly selected winner at the conclusion of the webinar (winners will be notified via email, so don't register with a spam address unless you don't care to claim your prize).
2. For every live webinar you attend during the webinar week, you will also be entered in the drawing for the Webinar Week Grand Prize: a Telerik Premium Collection license (valued at $1300) and a pass to the 2009 PNP Summit (a $1900 value)! The more webinars you attend live, the better your odds are at winning the prize valued at over $3000.

Plus, to get things kicked-off with a bang, we will be giving away a Premium Collection license to the winner of the first live webinar drawing (instead of a individual suite license), so you definitely don't want to miss the live events. Now for the schedule. Things get kicked-off on Tuesday, July 7th and run through the end of the week. Webinars will be held everyday at 11:00 AM Eastern Time and all will be recorded for Telerik TV on-demand viewing. The topics covered will be:

• Tuesday, July 7th - Q2 2009: What's New? Join me for a general overview of the Q2 release and high-level intro to what's new PRIZE: 1 Premium Bundle Collection license Register for webinar now
