Aspose.Newsletter February 2012 Edition is out Now

Aspose Newsletter for February 2012 has now been published that highlights all the newly supported features offered in the recent releases of its JasperReports exporters, SQL Server rendering extensions, .NET, Java & SharePoint components. This month's technical article shows performing OCR with Aspose.OCR for .NET & a migration tip for extracting messages from a PST file with Aspose.Email for .NET. A video tutorial for creating Code3128 barcode and set its background color using Aspose.BarCode.

In December we ran a sweepstake on Facebook; in January we had a grand prize draw. The winner of the sweepstake prize, an iPad 2, was Michael Sevast. He was much surprised to find that he had won but also had kind words to say about Aspose:  "We have used the Apose.Total for .NET components, for several years now. These tools greatly simplify our ability to interact with and export to known Microsoft formats. The speed of these components saves us considerable time over custom in-house solutions."

Supporting User Groups – How Can We Help?

Aspose value our developer community and do what we can to support over 150,000 users. One way we support the community is by supporting user groups. User groups bring developers from different industries and with different experience together to learn from each other. We already sponsor several groups and provide swag and free licenses for competitions. If you lead a user group, or know of one that could benefit from our support, please contact us at user.groups@aspose.com. We'd love to hear from you.
