    Pizza Ordering Made Easy with Telerik RadControls for Metro - HTML

    IntroductionWe all love pizza. I know that I do and several have speculated how it will be ordered in the future.

So, let’s build a Windows 8 HTML app using several new controls that are part of Telerik’s Windows 8 UI Controls that we have not seen yet. They include: RadDropDownList, RadSlider and RadGauge. Before We...

    Smashing Conference Mixes Art History and the Art of Web Development

       Telerik was  proud to be a Gold Sponsor at the very first Smashing Conference this week, held by our friends from Smashing Magazine.

    WinForms Q2’12 SP2 Brings New Enhancements with Better VS 2012 UX in Mind

    Just one month after the official release of Visual Studio 2012, I am proud to announce the immediate availability of RadControls for WinForms Q2 2012 SP2 release that is built with better Visual Studio 2012 user experience in mind. Back then on Aug 15, Q2 2012 SP1 of RadControls for WinForms provided support for Visual Studio 2012 from day one, but this new version brings further improvements to achieve full compliance (adhering to both functional and to the UX guidelines) with Visual Studio 2012. Today is a great day for Visual Studio 2012 as well as the official launch day of Microsoft...

    Why do I need a Technical co-Founder?

    As Paul and I are starting to review the first batch of applications to AcceleratorHK, we have stressed that you can’t apply for the accelerator program with only one founder.

This is a problem. I answer...
