June, 2012, Florida: Best TechEd Ever!

This month in Florida is going to be my 2nd TechEd ever and I’m sure the best by far. The number of things I get to do is staggering:

• I get to work the Telerik booth for my first big show. We’ll be launching not one but two completely new Telerik products. Fun!
  
• Since the Telerik Ultimate Collection has been nominated for the Best of TechEd, I get to give a dead-run 15-minute demo to the judges with fellow Teleriker Michael Crump.
  
• Also with Michael, I’ll be giving the 30-minute "Telerik + Blend: Better Together" talk in the Microsoft Visual Studio booth showing off how 3rd party controls work inside the newest Blend for building Metro style apps on Windows 8.
  
• The first chapter of the Metro/JS book I’m writing with another fellow Teleriker Brandon Statrom is being printed and bound in a limited quantity for the show. Stop by and get your signed copy!
  
• I get to be one of the Speaker Idol judges every day at lunch.
  
• I’m sure there’s at least one podcast recording in there, too, somewhere…

I honestly can’t remember when I’ve looked forward to a conference more. I’ll see you there!
