GrapeCity acquires ComponentOne… I am excited!

What a great day this is! I can finally let the cat out of the bag! It’s very exciting to announce that GrapeCity has acquired ComponentOne and is now a Division of GrapeCity. From an evangelism standpoint, I am personally excited to be working directly in the community with developer evangelists Rich Dudley and MVP Kevin Griffin. You will be seeing us at many developer events coming up. It’s also great getting to know many of the folks at ComponentOne here at TechEd this week. It’s a great group of people! If you are running a developer event, please contact one of us for sponsorships at twitter links below. Personally, I am ecstatic about working with the ComponentOne’s Phone 7 controls and a ton of other high quality dev tools. It’s honestly like being a kid in a candy store. Look for a brand new content from RussCamTV!

Here is the video that was shown at the announcement party last night….
