    Data Storage for Windows Store Apps - a Walkthrough

    With the Q2 Release of RadControls for Windows 8 we announced a new Data Storage framework that fills the gap of a local database solution missing in Windows 8/RT. Our solution is based on the well-established SQLite engine but provides additional functionality. Particularly, we implemented a LINQ to SQLite provider and some simple ORM features for the .NET Framework on top of it. On the JavaScript and HTML 5 side, the ORM capabilities are wrapped by a lightweight library which allows JavaScript developers to take advantage of the local database storage using JS objects and standard SQL expressions.

    Icenium Everlive Keynote Demo (Recap)

    On May 29th, 2013, several of us participated in a webinar covering the new release of Icenium (you can see a recording of the webinar event here).

    Is This Thing On? (Part 4)

    This is Part 4 of a four part series where we explore some of the tools available to detect and manage online/offline connectivity in web/mobile applications. In Part 1 we looked at the available APIs for detecting connectivity state (and the woes associated with them). In Part 2 we wrote a hand-rolled abstraction to manage using these APIs together and began to see elements of a state machine emerge from the chaos. In Part 3 we explored how we can keep our FSMs from violating SRP, and set the stage for using multiple FSMs together to model more complex application behavior. In this final part of the series, we look at setting up hierarchical FSMs to manage more complex behavior.
