Infragistics Wins Codie for Best Developer Tools!

Last year Infragistics won a Jolt award for Libraries Frameworks and Components, and that was a new level of achievement for us.  This year, I'm excited to announce that we've won a Codie as well for Best Software Development Solution.  Now don't get me wrong, I'm happy about any award we win, but there's something to be said for privately judged awards.  Not that I don't enjoy campaigning every year for the 'popular vote' awards, but I tend to find that the results rarely resemble real life.  Or maybe they do resemble real life ala the amount of free time some folks have to vote for themselves :)  Either way, I think this is really cool, and another milestone achievement for Infragistics. 

Quick story about the Jolt award..  When we found out we won, we had to get someone off to the west coast in 2 days to accept the award.  I was on the short list of ppl to go, but was already scheduled to be traveling somewhere else the next day.  As luck would have it (or not, depending on who you ask) Chris Lukose our corporate trainer was stuck on the west coast because of a snow storm here on the east coast.  And he wasn't alone, we had about 5 people stuck out there.  3 of them somehow ended up in Las Vegas, but that's a whole other story.  Long story short, we convinced Chris to stay even longer and accept the award.  Thanks Chris - I owe you one :)
