    Getting Started with ADO.NET Data Services and Telerik Open Access – Step III

    After we prepared our data service it is time to put some client UI into it. I must apologize in advance as the only UI that I’ve used is a ListBox control, and it looks… well pretty much ugly. The goal was to proof that the whole setup works as expected, not to design a profound UI solution.

For all of you that are not familiar with ADO.NET Data Services you can find more information here.

    Don'ts in Software Testing

    Sounds like a book title, doesn’t it? No, I haven’t written a book on software testing. I’m on my way though, I just need fifteen or twenty years of Alan Page’s, Ken Johnston’s and BJ Rollisson’s experience and I’m ready to go with a new testing bible like the just announced “How We Test Software at Microsoft®”. Check out Alan’s and BJ’s posts on the subject here and here. I’m sure the authors, who lead the Microsoft testing division of about 8000 testers, have a lot to share, but I was also happy to see the post ...
