As Hristo Deshev is quite busy working on getting the WPF beta shipped, I thought I’d make a small plug that his book on PowerShell is available on Amazon! Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Windows-PowerShell-Hristo-Deshev/dp/1590599403/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210281519&sr=8-1   Unlike many of the others books on the topic, Hristo’s goal was to make things more practical and teach readers not what PowerShell is but rather how it can be beneficial for them in many common scenarios.   So, if any of you buy Hristo’s book – PLEASE share your feedback on Amazon....

Just found out (from Telerik's homepage:) that we have done pretty well in this year's asp.netPRO Reader's Choice Awards - 10 awards overall, one in each category in which we participated. Even though there's nothing more gratifying than a demanding, happy customer, the fact that we've collected 2 dozen asp.netPRO awards in the last 3 years is a reason to open up a bottle of champagne. I would like to thank all of you who voted for us! Thank you so much! We appreciate every single effort you guys make - from voting in the annual magazine awards, to submitting a bug or...

I had a presentation last week at MS DevDays Bulgaria and I thought I’d share it with you. I was very excited and somewhat nervous - this was my first presentation ever. Nervousness aside, the feeling cannot be compared to anything else – I was glad there are so much people out there who are curious about the topic I’m interested in. It’s a kind of a win-win situation, where the attendees learn something new or see the things from another person’s point of view and the presenter learns even more on the topic from the questions the audience asks. Back to the...

A.k.a Deep Linking in Silverlight Undoubtedly Silverlight offers a myriad of useful features that can enhance the user and development experience – Binding, Multithreading, Layout System, Animations to name a few. But the fact that it is in essence a browser plug-in leads to certain limitations or “hurdles” for the user experience. Deep Linking? Why? One such thing is the lack of Deep Linking, i.e. the browser’s address bar contains the starting page for the application but any change in its state is not reflected in the address. Some people argue that there is difference between Web Applications and Web Pages and while the...

It has been some time this was in the making... and as of the beginning of this week RadEditor is the editor one uses to submit community content in MSDN. Here is a hasty screenshot I made for you: To my best knowledge, this is the fifth Microsoft team that adopts the RadEditor, yet I believe it is the first team to use it on a public Microsoft site (besides, such an important one). The other teams using the editor are doing internal MS content, and since I have not explicitly asked for permission to list their names here, I will...
