    Silicon Valley Code Camp Was Great

    This past weekend, Telerik Insider Ben Hoelting and I presented at the Silicon Valley Code Camp, where Telerik was proud to be one of the Platinum sponsors.  Attendance came in at over 2500 attendees, and there were a whole host of great sessions on both days.  The weather was great, and the attendees were very engaged. We had a steady stream of conversations at the booth, and Ben was kept busy talking about KendoUI on both days.  There was also a great deal of interest in Icenium, as well as all of our other Telerik products.         Happy Coding!

    Getting Started with NUnit, NUnit.Should, and JustMock

    Technorati Tags: TDD,Test Driven Development,JustMock,JustCode,NUnit,NUnit.Should,Mocking Before diving into mocking with JustMock, it’s important to note that JustMock is a mocking framework, and not a testing framework.  Test frameworks allow for creating Test Fixtures, which are .NET classes decorated with the appropriate attributes so they are picked up by a Test Runner.  Test are created within a Test Fixture by writing methods (with the appropriate attributes) that exercise your code (also referred to as the System Under Test) and report the results.  Test Runners are programs that will run your tests.  There are many free testing frameworks available for .NET developers, including MSTest (included...

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM - Database Naming Settings

    We, the OpenAccess ORM team, believe that an ORM solution should not only be easy to use and time-saving, but also flexible enough to reflect your needs. For instance, it is important that the names we generate comply exactly with your conventions, rather than being enforced. For that purpose we have provided the Naming Settings dialog a while ago, offering various naming options for the model on Class, Property and Field level. Now we are proud to present the new flexibility we have exposed for generating the names of the tables and columns in your database - the Database Names...

    Editing a Verification for an IF Conditional

    Test Studio’s IF Conditional steps are extraordinarily handy feature which enable you to handle branching in your tests based on specific conditions. There are a number of scenarios where this can ensure your tests are a bit more robust—logging in to your system if needed is one example. (Note: There are also many situations where I recommend against using conditionals. Don’t use them to conflate separate test cases. Keep your test cases simple, specific, and granular!) Here’s a tip I just learned today: Editing an IF conditional’s verification. This is nice feature because it allows you to update your conditional ...

    Using The AutoComplete With PHP

    One of my absolute favorite features about Google search is the auto suggesting that it does as I type in the search box. It’s a really nice feature. I liked it so much, I wrote a plugin for Kendo UI that ties into the Google...

    Windows 8–Toast Notification

    Continuing my series based on the presentations I’m giving in Europe, today I turn to toast notifications. As with Tiles, Toast notifications are a great way to let the user know that something interesting is happening with your application. Toast notifications can be very complex but their essence can be stripped down to just a few lines of code, especially thanks to the NotificationsExtensions library available from Microsoft. Create a new application, add the NotificationsExtension library and add a reference to the NotificationsExtension library to the main project. In MainPage.xaml we’ll add a single button to launch the toast, 1: <Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"> ...
