  6. Why C# and .NET? • Many may argue that .NET is not the only platform for software development • The leading platforms for development of serious enterprise software are .NET and Java • Java is harder to learn and less user-friendly • PHP / Python / C / C++ / Linux / etc. are nice platforms and everybody is free to learn them • Telerik is Microsoft-oriented company, so this is natural choice for us

  7. We Train Concepts • We train concepts, not just technologies • Senior developers know that language and platform does not matter • You are either good developer or lamer • We train OOP, databases, software engineering, Web applications, RIA applications • C# and .NET are good instruments to illustrate for these concepts in practice • Once you become a software engineer, you can easily switch to another platform

  23.
