    Smashing Conference Mixes Art History and the Art of Web Development

       Telerik was  proud to be a Gold Sponsor at the very first Smashing Conference this week, held by our friends from Smashing Magazine. The Conference was located in Freiburg, Germany September 17th-19th. According to Wikipedia, the name Freiburg means "fortified town of free citizens".

And here's what the user is looking to do in his own words: How do I create a test which modifies the user.config file before opening the application? Hopefully it will be interesting for you to see how I put this together. I did a bit of research and it went like this: 1) What's a user.config file?

Along with this growth in adoption and exploration of agile, the number of myths surrounding agile has grown as well. Listen to this episode of the Zero to Agile podcast series on Agile Myths with my guests Steve ...
