On this day 10 years ago we published our first compiler!

On this day 10 years ago we published our first compiler!

Image

We’re celebrating 10 years of compiler development with an entire month of special content, discounts,
and full license giveaways.

Exactly 10 years ago on this day, mikroPascal for PIC, our first compiler, made a debut. Typical for a
success story in the tech realm, back then we were a small company working from a shabby apartment.
Today we reminisce about those days while sipping fresh draft beer on a sunny terrace looking at an
expansive lawn surrounding our big HQ building.

A major part of that success we owe to our compilers.

We wanted to provide you with compilers with a well designed programming environment with all the right
tools in all the right places
, and a rich selection of prepared libraries and functions. These things are not
typically found in software tools for Embedded development.

All that so you could focus on your projects in order to create your own “typical” success story, while still
having enough time and energy to pursue all your other passions in life.

Today we have 18 compilers. mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal for PIC, dsPIC, PIC32, 8051, AVR and ARM.
To celebrate a decade of their development, we’ll offer special discounted prices from May 6 to May 31
on all compilers
. Use this once-in-a-decade opportunity to save up to a hundred dollars on your compiler purchases.

And if you’re lucky, you could win a free license too, by entering our sweepstakes.

Expect more stories about the compilers in the following weeks. It’ll be a celebratory month!

Yours sincerely,
MikroElektronika

Hello Checker :D

After submission, the window text in the top gets changed into "Sweet, You're Entered!"
And below that line, it tells you that you have 1 entry, you can increase this number by sharing with your friends.
Did you get this screen?

HTH :D

Send me the E-mail address you used in a pm and I'll check if you're registered. But yes, it should have gone according to what MaGiK wrote.

I'd like to congratulate the entire team of MikroElektronika for their amazing success.
Using your software and hardware is a great pleasure.
There's only one thing to add to make this combination even better ... Fanware! I'll place an order soon for that :D

Best wishes for the future :D

MikroElektronika is Serbian? I didn't know that. Nice to see a smaller country producing highly competitive IT products.

nope, but looks like the sweepstakes is over now anyway so guess I am the only one it did not work for :( oh well, maybe I can try again at the 20 year anniversary.

edit:
I just bought mikroC instead, the deal was too great to pass on.

I should have expected this from my current and previous experience with Mikroelektronika, but here it is 2 days later and still no key file in my email.... guess "instant delivery" means 'whenever they get around to it' instead of "Send request and get Key File Instantly" which for some reason I believe that to mean within minutes.

I checked every email folder <--- spam folder as well which should go without saying but... so unless gmail has created a hidden folder to put it in, I did not get it.

@Checker and @Megahurts: Indeed, something is wrong. What you should get upon clicking Enter is a second screen with the words "Sweet, You're Entered!". I will investigate the matter and return to you as soon as possible.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Maybe to add ctrl+left click to allow window redirect? (FireFox)

(will try now and report back)

Nope. not the fix. page script code only does have void do nothing instruction.
