On the 12th of September was the official Visual Studio 2012 Virtual Launch Event. I bet you have already installed it and learned about the latest fast and cool capabilities!

On the very same day! You haven’t got it yet – get it now. You can find the full details about the recent additions, new improvements and...
Yesterday I hosted an hour-long webinar on Solving Common Web UI Automation Problems. The point of this webinar wasn’t to show off Test Studio; I actually did the vast amount of the webinar using WebDriver and C#. (I’m always happy to get an excuse to dive back in to writing some code…) I’m working on uploading the video; however, that likely won’t be live until tomorrow. In the meantime, please enjoy these other resources from the webinar: My main slide deck: My "Why U No Test Yur UI" deck Source code for the demos (all on my GitHub profile) Generic ...

Just one month after the official release of Visual Studio 2012, I am proud to announce the immediate availability of RadControls for WinForms Q2 2012 SP2 release that is built with better Visual Studio 2012 user experience in mind. Back then on Aug 15, Q2 2012 SP1 of RadControls for WinForms provided support for Visual Studio 2012 from day one, but this new version brings further improvements to achieve full compliance (adhering to both functional and to the UX guidelines) with Visual Studio 2012. Today is a great day for Visual Studio 2012 as well as the official launch day of Microsoft...
As Paul and I are starting to review the first
batch of applications to AcceleratorHK,
we have stressed that you can’t apply for the accelerator program with only one founder.
The optimum team make-up is two people: one “business” co-founder and one “technical”
co-founder.
The most frequent question that I get from potential applicants is: “Why do I need
a technical co-founder?” The question alone tells you something since it is not:
“Why do I need a business guy co-founder?” This tells me that there are TONS of excited
non-technical people willing to take the plunge and start a business, but not enough
techies. This is a problem.
I answer...
Today we are pleased to announce the Release Candidate of Telerik UI Controls for Windows 8 development. One of the highlights of the release is the addition of two new controls, Pagination and HubTile, for both HTML and XAML environments. In addition, the suite gets improvements such as Design-time support for XAML and numerous performance enhancements. With this version of the suite (as well as with the previous Beta) you can build Windows store-ready apps at no cost. Hurry up, get your app to the store first; being first has huge advantages! There are already a number of certified apps on...
Software development, like many other things, is learned by studying theory and applying that theory to practice. While practicing however, it is also a good idea to learn existing software to reinforce the theory and also learn a trick or two that are not mentioned in the books. With this in mind we decided to create a complete sample app for Windows Phone that will be free to download and study in order to help you with your Windows Phone development. It is a Picture Gallery app that demonstrates how to create a native Windows Phone client for Flickr or another...
Windows 8 Store Applications can take advantage of the shared “Charms” that you see when you swipe in from the right edge of your Windows 8 device (or press Win-C). The top charm is searching and it provides tremendous functionality at relatively little programming effort. When you click search Windows 8 assumes you want to search the current application if that application has registered a Search “contract.” If it has not, Windows 8 will assume you want to search the applications, as shown in the figure (click on the figure for full size). In any case, every program that implements a search contract...
