    Egoless coding

    Earlier today my colleague Rumen posted a link to this great blog post by J Atwood from Vertigo Software: http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/jatwood/archive/2006/01/24/The_Ten_Commandments_of_Egoless_Programming.aspx. I thought I should share it with our community as the ego of people, and especially that of the most knowledgeable and top performing people, is THE biggest problem of any organization. It kills teamwork, it doesn't leave room for self-improvement and it blinds the people, making them unaware of the context in which they are working. That's actually one of the reasons why we have our own commandment - if you are working for telerik, you have to leave your ego outside of the office door....

    www.telerik.com now runs MondoSearch

    Over the last couple of years we've heard quite a few complaints that it's not easy to find your way around www.telerik.com and that information is scattered. I myself have been amazed how much content is there but nobody knows about it. Responding to the growing pressure from customers and our team we have been re-working our corporate site over the last few months. One part of our efforts was (and continues to be) to improve www.telerik.com structure and content. The other part of the solution was to add powerful search capabilities to our web property. Once there was a clear need for...

    Cracking Sudoku

    Tackling problems and coding solutions for them is an essential part of the job of a software engineer like myself. The only problem with this is that sometimes work becomes a little boring and repetitive. With some tasks you can even begin to feel a little like a brainless code monkey that knows how to do its job very well, but lacks the stimulation of problems that appeal to the creative capabilities of the brain. Enter the Sudoku! I have always liked logical puzzles as a kid (and adult too) and when I was first introduced to sudoku I was immediately...

    Go for the Gold - telerik renews Gold Certified Partner status

    Today we finally renewed our Gold Certified status in the Microsoft Partner Program. It was a bigger pain to go through all the steps and complete all requirements than it was last year, but I am very happy that everything is all set again. Now that everything is official we will be able to put the following text on our site:"Microsoft Gold Certified Partners are the elite Microsoft Business Partners who earn the highest customer endorsement. They have the knowledge, skills, and commitment to help implement technology solutions that match your exact business needs." Impressive, huh?:) Don't worry, we won't put it on...

    I am a published author!!!

    It's official now: I am a co-author of a real paper book. The book is titled ???????????? ?? .NET Framework (.NET Framework programming) and it is written in Bulgarian. I am holding it right now -- it is a bit heavy (800+ pages for the first part), but holding it feels good. The first part has been published and we are expecting the second part really soon. The cool thing is that the book is distributed under a free license and you can download the text in DOC or PDF format from the site. The book is an introductory-level text, aimed for the beginner programmers. Most...
