XAF 14.2 webinar recording and other interesting videos
I am late with this announcement, but still want to share a link to the webinar we made in early December where Seth demonstrated certain XAF 14.2 features live and talked about XAF application development in general:
As always, there was also a Q/A session during the presentation: certain questions were voiced live and others were answered by our XAF team in chat. Frankly speaking, we had hundreds of questions about the new functionalities so our keyboards got hot quickly. We could not even handle all the questions so I am thinking about running another pure QA session around January/February. There we could present the most frequently asked questions and general information about the new bits and maybe present some new developments. Honestly, our team really enjoys such live sessions where we had a chance to talk to each other, ask questions and answer yours. Please let me know what you think of this idea in comments.
JFYI.
During the webinar, there was also a survey with a few questions for the auditory. Here are poll results (based on the 154 attendees) for your reference:

A final note on XAF 14.2, since I started to talk about videos. Our tech writers prepared short videos for each new feature so you can quickly get it. Here is a list in one place if you missed it on https://www.devexpress.com/Subscriptions/New-2014.xml?product=xaf for some reason:
- ASP.NET End-User Report Designer
- New Notifications Module (CTP)
- Grid Designer for List Views
- New Image Property Editor
- Persisting UI Settings in the Database (*this one is extremely popular based on the feedback we received in 3 weeks after the release)
- Bands Support in Grid List Editors
- New Ribbon Templates for WinForms
