DevExpress is Most Excellent Host

I don't endorse products for just money, and I surely don't endorse them for free meals. I do endorse products I believe in, and if I can I get paid (for writing articles) about those products not by the vendor. This applies to CodeRush and DevExpress. CodeRush is a must have meta-programming tool. CodeRush helps you produce code maybe as much as ten times faster and that code is uniform, which should mitigate the need for goofy coding standards meetings.

That said, if I could be bribed by hospitality Ray Navasarkian and Mark Miller from DevExpress would certainly have made the cut. The DevExpress team, including Mark, Ray, Dustin Campbell, and Oliver Sturm hosted a sumptuous meal at the Metropilitan Grill in Seattle on Thursday (4/17/09) night. The atmosphere was handsomely appointed, the conversation was collegial, and the food was superlative.

Ray, Mark and company provide first class products and are first class hosts. Thanks for your hospitality. (I have to go now because I have to hit them up for sponsoring our Day of .NET in lansing, Michigan on June 21st, 2008.)
