    Improved Navigation in JustCode

    One of Telerik JustCode’s most valuable features – its quick code navigation, recently got even better. We decided to re-think the way our Camel Case Searcher works. Our main priorities were to deliver more than expected, show you what’s expected on top ASAP, and greatly improve searching flexibility – we did all that. Camel Case Searching allows you to quickly find entities by typing either their acronyms or parts of the words that are contained in it. When you use capital letters, or separating symbols, JustCode will try to match them with the word beginnings; splitting your search text with spaces...

    Chart Your Data Now in New Generation Apps Flavor

    Having a chart control in your arsenal is of great value because it visualizes significant information in an easily digestible manner. This is of great use for numerous scenarios - showing statistical data, displaying revenue and flow of numerical data, implementing reports, assembling analytics solutions, for pure scientific purposes or just for fun. A chart can be displayed in many different manners, e.g as shown below:   Implementing a chart solution, however, is a pretty time-consuming task and that is why we at Telerik decided to provide this powerful data visualization tool out of the box for our customers.

    Put some CSS magic to your RadControls for WinForms

    We keep a close track of the latest trends and we know how popular HTML5 and CSS are these days. That is why while implementing our new theme engine, which we presented in our previous blog, we added a small, but powerful styling feature  and in this blog we want to tell you more about it.   Until now there were two ways to create new themes for RadControls. The first one is to use the Visual Style Builder tool (http://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/tools.aspx) and to create or modify an existing theme. The other way is a bit tricky as you should edit an XML...

    Have a great idea for a startup? Don’t seek funding.

    I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to talk with entrepreneurs all the time. There are tons of brand new startups here in Hong Kong and around the world. Entrepreneurs take me out for coffee all the time to pick my brain and seek advice. Many founders mock up a few screen shots, cobble together a proof of concept, go to town in PowerPoint, then have lots of meetings with people like me asking: “do you like my idea?” and “how do I get money?” As I said last week on this blog, the economics of a startup have changed, yet again. Since it takes less...

    30 Agile Myths Busted!

    “We can’t try that Agile thing here, we need to have <fill in the blank>” Does that sound familiar? That is just one variation of the many Agile Myths that I hear from people all over the world who are working to bring agile processes into their organization. Migrating to agile can be hard. Fighting FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) that is based on incorrect assumptions and misunderstanding can make the process that much more difficult. Wouldn’t it be great to have a resource that collects the most popular agile myths, lines them up, and knocks them down one by one?...
