In addition to providing software, Infragistics is providing lunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Let's be honest with one another...every single tool vendor claims their products to be the best – the most feature rich – and the one you cannot live without. The truth, however, is that marketing hype and hyperbole means nothing when it comes to software development tools. What really matters is what you and your team think of a product after evaluating and comparing it to others. To help you in this evaluation process and thus make a fully informed purchase decision, we offer you access to both trial versions of our tools and/or compiled applications that illustrate all the capabilities available to you and your team once you begin using our products. In addition, all Developer Express technologies are backed by a 60 day no questions asked money back guarantee – so even after you've completed your evaluation and purchased our tools, you can return them to us for a full refund if they do not meet your business needs. DevExpress is happy to offer you over 60 DevExpress controls free of charge – without royalties or distribution costs. Click here for 60 FREE controls. Visit us at www.devexpress.com
