A prospective customer recently commented on our distribution policies and it prompted me to write a blog post and try to explain things in not-so-legal terms. Possibly because of improper wording on our part many ISVs do not feel comfortable with our terms and conditions when it comes to using our products in a commercial product. Here's what our agreement says:"You are not allowed to integrate and distribute the SOFTWARE as part of branded commercial products meant for mass distribution. This is subject to a redistributable license. For more information and inquiries, please contact sales@telerik.com." I've been re-reading this paragraph over and over while...

It is that time of the year when the summer heat begins to remind us it is the right moment to take off on a road trip for the weekend.  That’s how two colleagues and I decided to visit the cool town of Ohrid in neighboring Macedonia. It all started on Friday evening with nothing more than our backpacks and a couple of beers to maintain high spirit during the somewhat tedious travel :).

The advices which this tool gives are a little bit questionable but you may still find them useful. At least now I have an incentive to upgrade my computer...

I’ve been having this nightmare recently that we’re off track with what customers are looking for in terms of interface design, and I guess the best way to find out how we’re doing is to ask you guys. So I’ve set up a short online survey for all willing to help us feel where the industry is heading and provide feedback for what they need.

I would strongly encourage all of you...
