The Q3 2013 release introduces a major improvement in the Telerik Data Storage for Windows 8 Javascript SDK - schema support. The schema enforces data constraints, validates input data and enables the creation of SQL indices for improved query performance. This blog post gives an overview of the new schema support in Telerik Data Storage, which, we believe, should be your preferred local data provider for your Windows 8 applications.
Yesterday we had our 3rd quarterly release for Kendo UI’s 2013 year, and was it ever a good one! We nailed down a huge update to nearly every part of Kendo UI this round, all along our theme of 3 pillars: Pillar 1: Responsive (Kendo UI Widgets). Pillar 2: Adaptive (Grid and Scheduler). Pillar 3: Modern (UI Dimensions). There’s a lot of great updates to an already amazing suite of resources, including the introduction of our new feline overlord, the GeoKitteh!
Express is a lightweight and minimalistic framework for building web applications on Node. But how does it hold up under some very basic user authentication and security requirements? in this article, we'll take a look at how to implement a registration and login flow using Express and Everlive.
Quick feedback is paramount in the implementation of any UI. Studies have shown that 100ms is the maximum delay for an interface to feel instantaneous to the user.
Despite this, the mobile web is plagued by a sweeping feedback problem - a 300ms delay after you touch anything. This delay is one of the most prominent reasons that HTML based web apps are considered "sluggish" by many users.
In this article we'll discuss why the delay exists, what browser vendors are working on to make the problem go away, and what you can do to workaround the issue right now.
Many web sites make use of Web services, either in-house services or those from a third party. Web services perform tasks common across many applications, such as stock market tickers, weather reports, and news feeds. If the Web service is in-house, testers have to determine if it meets the required performance and load characteristics. If the service is provided by a third party, you want to make sure that it is meeting your Service Level Agreement regarding the number of simultaneous users and response times. Test Studio will have the ability to help you determine this. Let’s take a look ...
The examples I’ve been working with for this series have assumed that you are doing "Green Field” development. This means that we are writing an application from scratch and can make sure all of the things that make code testable are incorporated into our design from the start. The biggest one of these things being the user of dependency injection. But what if you are working on “legacy” code that still uses static dependencies and not dependency injection? Is TDD and unit testing out of reach due to a decision made at the beginning of the project? Not necessarily.
It’s Kendo UI launch day, once again, and if you joined us in our online keynote this morning, you’ve no doubt already seen many of the exciting new features that we’re releasing under the Q3 2013 banner of “Responsive UI for modern apps.” Our goal this quarter was to deliver a bevy of new features, enhancements and performance improvements designed to help you build compelling desktop and mobile web apps in a snap, and I think we’ve delivered on that promise!
Sharing your device's screen to a laptop or desktop has become an essential part of developing mobile apps - especially as teams have become increasingly distributed. In this post we examine two such utilities - Droid@Screen (for Android) and Reflector (for iOS).
Google calendar allows importing tasks from a .csv file, so this can be combined with the TeamPulse feature to export work items (including tasks) into the same format. Thanks to this straight-forward export/import process, a portion or all of your project related tasks can be synchronized with any device using Google calendar and you can always keep an eye on your assignments. In order to import your tasks from TeamPulse into Google calendar you need at least: TeamPulse R2 2013 version This TeamPulse version supports both export/import of work items to a .csv file and the creation of custom fields ...
