Automocking with JustMock
Auto mocking containers are designed to reduce the friction of keeping unit test beds in sync with the code being tested as systems are updated and evolve over time. Background The Dependency Inversion Principle states: High level modules should not depend upon low level modules. Both should depend upon abstractions. Abstractions should not depend upon details. Details should depend upon abstractions. As more developers follow this and the rest of Robert Martin’s SOLID principles, methods and classes become much smaller with dependent objects injected into them, typically through constructor injection. As additional dependencies are needed (or the code is refactored to improve dependency isolation), the signatures of... -

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... -

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... -
