Support for Visual Studio 2012 Themes in JustCode 2012 Q2 Service Pack 2
In addition to the extra code navigation features introduced in JustCode 2012 Q2 SP2, we have made improvements for Visual Studio themes. We focused on four main areas to support the new “Modern” user interface in VS2012: the general user interface (tool windows, popups, dialogs, etc.), options pages, the Visual Aid, and code colorization. General User Interface The new Modern (formerly called “Metro”) interface in Visual Studio comes with two default themes – dark and light. There is a new extension available for Visual Studio, called the “Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor”, and we updated JustCode to work with the additional themes available through... -

The ASP.NET AJAX Gauge - Meet Telerik’s New HTML5-based Data Visualization Recruit
With our previous release (Q2 2012) we introduced RadHtmlChart, but we didn’t stop there – even before the next major release we introduced a lot of the features you asked for. Once again we leveraged the latest HTML5 goodness and RadHtmlChart now has its own younger brother – RadGauge. In fact, it’s a pair of twins – RadRadialGauge and RadLinearGauge to make the family life even more fun. Put simply, you can use the gauge to show very specific data with relation to a given range. You could mimic a car dashboard and show the fuel left and have the last quarter... -

Build stronger applications with Coded UI Tests for WinForms. Today.
Out of question, high quality is top priority for each and every software product on the market. Microsoft knows that well and that’s why with the introduction of Visual Studio 2010 they unveiled their own test automation solution called Coded UI Tests. We plugged Telerik’s WinForms into this test automation ecosystem by introducing MSAA support for the whole suite which allowed for integration with the first level of Coded UI Tests. We did not stop there, however, and I am glad to inform you that as of Q3 2012 RadControls for WinForms suite will introduce full support for Coded UI Tests... -

Platform Guidance for .NET Developers
We often get questions from our customers about which of the multitude of app frameworks that Microsoft provides for .NET developers they should pick. WinForms? WPF? Silverlight? ASP.NET? What’s the right solution for their problem? The answer is always the same: it depends. Unfortunately, that’s not very helpful, so we sat down and figured out just what it depends on and whether we can offer clear, concise guidance for our customers. The answer was “yes we can”. 2012 has been a busy year which included two major events in the life of a .NET developer: Silverlight desktop and web have been... -

"Introduction to Kendo UI" from Pluralsight
We, as developers, need resources when it comes to learning a new skill or technology. To complicate matters, each of us employ different techniques to learn. Some developers, for example, prefer to immediately get their hands dirty by writing "hello, world". Others prefer a more traditional... -

My Visit to Launchub, the First Bulgarian Startup Accelerator
On Tuesday night I visited and delivered a talk to the cohort at Launchub, Bulgaria’s first software startup accelerator. Launchub is financed by a seed fund made up of private and EU money. Launchub is hosted at a great co-work space, betahaus, in downtown Sofia. It was great visiting betahaus and meeting the teams. I quickly noticed that the Bulgarian accelerator is the exact opposite of AcceleratorHK; in Bulgaria, the teams are engineering heavy, while in Hong Kong, the teams are business people/designer heavy. Too bad we are too far away for a merger. I delivered a talk titled: “Lessons Learned From a Career in Startups.”...
