    MCPD / Enterprise Applications Developer

    I’ve recently completed my certification (ah, thanks, you’re too kind!) and a lot of people have been asking me what’s the deal with all the new .NET 2.0 credentials. I will try to answer those questions in the following blog post. For those among you who don’t already know Microsoft has reorganized their certification system. In the .NET 1.x world there were two recognizable certifications that could interest professional developers like us: MCAD (Microsoft Certified Application Developer) and MCSD (Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer). The MCAD certification was aimed at regular developers who could choose to specialize in either windows forms or web applications....

    The WPF Conversion contest. Part II

    A month ago I blogged about the WPF conversion contest. The blog discussed creating a tool which converts files from some other formats (3DS, SWF, etc.) to XAML. Back then I said that my personal favorite - a tool which converts a flash file to XAML - is missing. Several days later Mike Swanson emailed me and told me that he himself is actually working on such a tool. A month later, this tool is a fact! I can't say anything else than "Great work, Mike". My personal favorite is not missing any more:) Zhivko from the telerik UX team gave me 3...

    Vlad's first post

    Hi Folks, My name is Vladimir Enchev and some of you may already know me from telerik forums. I am part of team1 @ telerik and I’ll try to inform you regularly about all cool things related to r.a.d.ajax, r.a.d.grid, etc. and of course some other hot stuff about my daily tasks. Ok :-) .. so my first top secret confidential info is that the next version of r.a.d.grid will support some really useful client-side operations such as “Delete”. Here is a link with small online demo: http://betas.telerik.com/examples/clientdelete/  ... and here is the code: <radG:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" DataSourceID="SessionDataSource1"AllowAutomaticDeletes="True" runat="server">  <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ProductID">     <Columns>       <radG:GridClientDeleteColumn ConfirmText="Are you sure?" />     </Columns>  ...

    The WPF Conversion contest. My personal favorite is missing.

    The conversion contest announced some months ago by Mike Swanson ended a few days ago: http://wpf.netfx3.com/content/ConversionContest.aspx It's a pity that none of the contestants has written a Flash (SWF) to XAML converter so far. Although to me, it looks like a hard job to do I think soon there'll be some third party tools which will successfully convert some simple flash files to XAML. I found a good tool by Kinesis Software which decompiles SWF to RVML. The task gets simplified and now someone should write an extension which converts RVML to XAML. As easy as that :) Btw I've got another favorite missing - Maya to...

    My first public speaking!

    Monday and Tuesday have been very exciting for me!  Rumen already mentioned the DevReach conference: I was not only an attendee -- this was my first speaking experience!  My talk was about building and testing Atlas components, so that you actually get a chance succeeding at a large JavaScript development project.  Maybe I am getting a bit arogant when it comes down to client scripting, but I am starting to believe that after working for telerik for 2.5 years, I think I have seen it all.  We maintain a huge JavaScript code base and our only chance of keeping our sanity was to naturally move to writing...
