Is HTML5 hype justified or not?
Is HTML5 "hype" justified or not? We had the same question. We read the available research online, and often found it conflicting. Some analysts are HTML5 bulls; some are bears. Clearly, the Kendo UI team has its own (bullish) opinions on HTML5, but like any good student of the industry, we want to make sure those opinions are in-touch with the heartbeat of the developer community. Not satisfied with the available data, we gathered our own via a new survey that collected responses from more than 4,000 developers! If you want it done right, you've got to do it yourself, they say. Although the...November 06, 2012 -

Creating A Great Windows 8 Tile With XAML RadControls for Windows 8
Our new RadControls for Windows 8 offers a number of controls to make your application look and perform better. One of the key features is the new set of HubTiles. These are easy to work with, and greatly simplify the job of creating a terrific tile for your application. Remember, Microsoft’s advice is “Invest in a Great Tile.” Now that’s easy to do. To see how to create great tiles, we’ll create a small application that hosts two tiles: one an image with “peek” text that appears halfway and then all the way over the image, and the second a flipping...November 06, 2012 -

JustCode Q3 Typing Assistance Improvements
We designed the typing assistance feature of JustCode to increase your productivity by saving you keystrokes without getting in your way. In this release, we enhanced this feature, making it faster and better than ever. Brace positioning When you press enter between opening and closing brace, JustCode positions the braces correctly and inserts an empty line so you can begin typing immediately. Previously, JustCode used the formatting feature to position braces correctly, and this was sometimes slow. The brace positioning no longer relies on the formatter, and the result is extremely fast. Wrap statement in braces When you add an open brace at the beginning of...November 05, 2012

Browser Zoom - Why Does It Break Your Page And How To Avoid It
The current situation The major browsers offer the option to zoom the entire page rather than just increase the font size. This is an important accessibility feature, which is often used not only by people with vision impairments, but also by users that, for different reasons, need to see the page smaller or larger. Usually we zoom to increase the font size but, since the browser zooms the entire page, visual glitches could appear when the layout is based on background images and/or sprites. It will not ruin the page accessibility but will leave a feeling that the UI is not structured very well. And we don’t want...November 05, 2012 -
