    The Importance of Good Tools

    Making a slight deviation from the more code-happy posts I normally do, I want to take a chance to talk about something which is very important to .Net developers, specifically those of us working in the Xaml space – the importance of tooling in a development environment. (Hint, the above image was edited using a Telerik Xaml tool!)

    Managing Multiple Concurrent Iterations (Sprints) with TeamPulse

    Our projects should always strive for simplicity in the way they are structured and organized.  This is especially true for the organizations of release and iteration plans.  With iterative development using agile methodologies such as Scrum, we emphasize breaking down a project or a software release into time boxed iterations (called Sprints in Scrum).  It’s very important to note that iterations truly represent a “bucket” of work – the capacity of this bucket determined by the fixed length of the iteration (usually ranging from 1-4 weeks) and the amount of work your team can get done in that period of ...

    Running Telerik Reports in the cloud with Windows Azure Part 2

    Download Telerik_Reporting_in_Azure (C# VS2010) - 1.69 MB As we bragged in the SP1 of Telerik Reporting Q1 2011 Available post, besides the improved performance and optimized server resources, the XAML rendering extension can now be used in Windows Azure. That is why we decided to update our cloud demo to show the reports in the Silverlight report viewer as well (which utilizes the XAML rendering). You can learn how to use the Silverlight report viewer from the Getting Started with the Silverlight Report Viewer for Telerik Reporting video. The updated demo site can be seen at http://telerikreporting.cloudapp.net/. The good news is there is nothing specific that has...
