Building Cross-Platform Apps with HTML5 and DXTREME by Jon Gallant in Jon Gallant “ It's great that I can utilize the technologies that I already know and having the DXTREME controls adaptively render based on platform is great. I spent a little time looking into what it would take to ramp up on iOS and Android development and as a .NET developer I would definitely rather take the time to ramp up on DXTREME. ” About Jon Gallant Jon is a dev lead at Microsoft on the editorial web app for the MSN CMS called Bedrock. Since joining Microsoft in '04, he's worked on Bing Mobile, Microsoft.com, MSDN, Microsoft Learning and the Windows Driver Dashboard. Before that he traveled from Maine, to Michigan, to Florida and then finally to Seattle as an independent .NET web app developer.

Light up Your Modern Apps with DXTREME by Laurence Moroney in CodeGuru “ With the release of Windows 8, and the remarkable PCs and devices such as the Microsoft Surface that it powers, you've probably seen some rich, interactive, modern applications, and wondered how you can build them for yourself. Developer Express has always been a leader in creating controls and add-ons to the development environment that make the task of building applications as easy as possible, and Windows 8 application development is no exception. ” About Laurence Moroney Laurence Moroney is the owner of netNavi.tv, a consulting firm in Seattle WA specializing in mobile, Mac, web, cloud and Microsoft development. He has written more than a dozen books and is a frequent speaker on the developer conference circuit.

Mobile, Tablet and Desktop Development All at the Same Time with DevExpress by Doug Rathbone in Diary of a Ninja “ If I was to dream up my own cross-platform development tool tomorrow it wouldn’t be anywhere near as good, or as feature-rich, as the product that DevExpress has created in DXTREME. The thoughtful way in which the framework has been designed to use common languages and JS frameworks makes it a breeze to pick up, and the heavy Visual Studio integration alone makes it worth looking at purchasing just to help speed up any current PhoneGap development you might be doing. ” About Doug Rathbone Doug has been building software commercially more than 12 years, primarily web based applications. He is passionate about all forms of technology online and offline, and has a love for great software architecture and digital development in general. He greatly enjoys working with software automation and continuous integration and spends his time evangelizing all of these loves to anyone who will listen. He spends his nights dreaming in code, dabbling in desktop and mobile device development and using what spare time he has left to keep fit.

DXTREME: Cross-Platform Application Dev Tools by DevExpress by Alvin Ashcraft in Alvin Ashcraft’s Morning Dew “ DXTREME can really jump-start your cross-platform development.
