    Testing Trends in 2013

    [Updated: Fixed grammar foul on ‘Tenants’ vs. ‘Tenets’.] 2012 is drawing to a close, and apparently all the worry about the Mayan calendar not extending past today is thankfully misplaced! The ending of a year is a good time for some introspection, and some thinking about what’s in store for the next year. Lots of smart folks in the testing field have their own opinions about what we’ll see (or won’t!) next year, but here are a few of my thoughts. Keep in mind this list is totally in line with my own very opinionated biases! Whole Team Testing This ...

    Introducing RadPivotGrid for WPF/Silverlight

    We are extremely excited to present the new RadPivotGrid control in our SL/WPF suite which we sometimes refer as the “missing link” between the standard data grids and full-blown interactive business reporting solution. And all this functionality is now just a toolbox-click away from your apps. We promise - if the world does not end today, you will be wondering how you have developed your business apps without this component before. What’s the best about it however is that your end-users will simply love it – the Pivot Grid provides UI very similar to the well-known MS Excel counterpart. RadPivotGrid for WPF/Silverlight is still beta, but it already has a list of great features.

    Knockout.js and Kendo UI - a Potent Duo

    Knockout.js is a popular JavaScript framework for building dynamic user interfaces using the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern. Knockout allows for easy one or two-way synchronization between your data and the markup. However, Knockout does not include any widgets or components for creating the user interface, which is a...

    MVVM in WinJS Part 2 – Observable Collections

    As I explained in my last post on MVVM in WinJS, the goal of the MVVM pattern (as well as the Presentation Model pattern) is to create a separation of concerns between the model and the view. This eliminates the need for the model to have knowledge of the view, and leverages data binding techniques to make sure the state of the model is always accurately represented by the view. The next step in implementing the MVVM pattern is Observable Collections. Just as important as having individual items being Observable by the View for changes are collections that will notify the View when items are added or deleted. Fortunately, Microsoft has made this extremely simple with the WinJS.Binding.List.
