RSS Feed Reader Built with Kendo UI, YQL, & LESS
One of the early (great) pieces of feedback we received during the Kendo UI beta is that you want to see more examples of Kendo UI in action. Sure, there is a huge (and growing) Kendo UI demo center, loaded with focused demos for Kendo UI...September 29, 2011

Dynamic binding for your Silverlight applications
In the early days of Silverlight binding support for advanced dynamic scenarios was very limited (remember my DataTable?). Since then, however, the platform has evolved greatly – so did our tools! Dynamic code 2009 style: Dynamic code 2011 style: Now to bind RadGridView to some dynamic data you just need ObservableCollection<dynamic>: RadGridView will auto-generate columns automatically using your DynamicObject GetDynamicMemberNames() implementation and will call your TryGetMember/TrySetMember (TryGetIndex/TrySetIndex in case of indexer binding) methods when needed. To illustrate this I’ve made small example project (similar to this blog post) demonstrating...September 28, 2011 -

Good Collaboration: Bringing Devs and Testers Closer
I fully admit it: I’m extraordinarily biased to having developers and testers co-located in the same room, or even at the same desk. I’ve seen the great collaboration that ensues as testers and devs bring their different skillsets, experience, and views together while working together on project tasks. While I’m biased in that direction, I’ve also led and been a part of teams working in different states and on different sides of the globe—and we were highly successful at our efforts thanks to working hard at establishing a great collaborative environment. Collaboration isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a central pillar ...September 27, 2011 -

Silverlight is dead. F****** dead
Or maybe it isn’t that dead? OK…you expected me to say that, and you’re thinking, “this guy is just trying to sell me Silverlight tools and save his business.” I will not argue…you’re almost right. There’s one small correction to be made - we are not trying to save our business. :) Rather, we are hard at work on all fronts, be it HTML5 or Win8, so it doesn’t make a difference for us what technology you’ll ultimately choose as we have all bases covered. As I’ve said many times, use whatever makes most sense for your business. That said, I...September 22, 2011 -

How to Pick Your Platform: Silverlight, Metro, or HTML5
While Windows 8 is ushering in an exciting new model for Windows development called "Metro style apps" that run a new "unified" Windows Runtime (WinRT), it's not necessarily the right choice for all new Windows software development. In fact, there are a lot scenarios where it's not a good choice. In this over-simplified decision tree, I try to provide some crude logic for how to pick between your platform options. Clearly, there are many nuances not covered in this tree, but I'll work on expanding the "logic" to make it more bullet proof in the coming weeks. The first decision is the most important, though: Do you need to continue...September 15, 2011
