    Rethinking Agile Methodologies Part I: How I started to use Scrum

    In the beginning I used waterfall. There I said it. Looking back at the mid to late 1990s, I can’t believe how I ever got software developed at all! ;) I was first introduced to Agile methodologies ten years ago. When I was the CTO of Zagat, one of our board members gave me a copy of Kent Beck’s original Extreme Programming Explained. At the time Zagat was doing a modified version of waterfall that was more “agile”, meaning we were doing things quickly and responding to the needs of the business (this was the .COM boom you know!), however, we were not Aglie insofar as...

    A letter to our customers

    At the end of each year we have time to look back and reflect on the year before and think about the year ahead. 2010 was once again a challenging year for Telerik as well as our customers.

Silverlight 4 was released, then pronounced dead, then alive again, then Silverlight 5 previews were shown. Even Mother Nature in April gave us trouble; the eruption of Mt. Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland stranded over a dozen of our employees, including our CEO, on...
