Making ASP.NET XHTML 1.1 compliant
As you may know, all components from the r.a.d.controls suite render XHTML 1.1 compliant output. We wanted to promote it in a way that all users can click a button in our online examples and see for themselves that everything validates perfectly. W3C provides an online validation service (http://validator.w3.org) so it should not be that hard. Unfortunately ASP.NET 1.x complies with *NO* HTML standard ever approved by W3C. ASP.NET 2.0 was first XHTML 1.1 compliant, but then in the official release Microsoft fell back to XHTML 1.0 transitional which is less restrictive. I made a couple of Google searches and found other people... -

The life and death of r.a.d.designer
After three years of good service, r.a.d.designer will be discontinued. As of r.a.d.controls Q4 2005 SP1 next week, the product will no longer be part of the ASP.NET suite. Wondering why we decided to do it? A bit of history... r.a.d.designer was telerik's third product after r.a.d.editor and r.a.d.menu.

It was supposed to be very close to what r.a.d.dock does. Back in time... -

In just 7-8 months the web got cluttered with all kinds of AJAX addicts, Evangelists, "leaders" and people claiming they were doing AJAX even before XmlHttp was in the browser. It's almost like the infamous Web 2.0... Everyone talks about it, but no one knows exactly what it is. Am... -

Ooo Champs Elysee....
Wondering why I suddenly disappeared? Well, some time ago I made a promise to myself to maintain a work-life balance and to take a vacation every three months. So, I made a list of places I wanted to visit and last week it was time for ... Paris! It's really hard to describe in just words how good I felt and what a great time I had. As a matter of fact, I had been in Paris a few times before, but it was only for a day and I had not come even close to appreciating all of its splendor... -

Book Review: Working Effectively with Legacy Code
I finished reading Michael Feathers' book this week, and I am absolutely thrilled. This is my first book review on this blog, and I hope it gives a good idea of the book, so that people can make an informed decision on whether to spend their time reading it.
