    Quick Tips for Browser Dev Tools – The Console

    Browser developer tools have been around for quite some time now, yet a surprising amount of current, or people looking in to becoming, web developers are unaware of them. This is why I wanted to spend some time on creating a short series looking at, what I think, are the important items to know about these great tools. This is actually the last post out of the series with part one covering the element inspector ant network resources, and part two going over the scripts tab. Today I want to take a look in to the all mighty console which is...

    Telerik RadControls for Silverlight 4 and RadControls for WPF 3.5 support discontinued as of Q3 2012

    Earlier this year we introduced two schemes showing the support life cycle of RadControls for WPF and RadControls for Silverlight. With this blog post we would like to remind you that with the Q3 2012 official release you will no longer receive future updates, new features and installations for WPF 3.5 and Silverlight 4 controls.   Since the WPF 4.0 and Silverlight 5 have been around for quite some time now and the public trends are that they are already widely adopted (what is more .NET 4.5 along with WPF 4.5 are also alive), we truly believe that this step will...

    Why Mocking Matters

    How does mocking benefit me?  That’s a question I hear a lot as I travel around the world giving talks.  So before we dive into how to use a mocking tool like JustMock, let’s discuss why this is important and the benefit that mocking provides over other techniques like Fakes. In my post on Why SOLID Matters, we refactored a small piece of code to be more SOLID.  Granted, it was a simplistic example, but good for illustrating several key points on SOLID.  We will continue using the same code to discuss the benefits of Mocking.  As a refresher, we ended...

    Telerik’s Q3 Webinar Week is coming up next week, and Test Studio will be closing out the week with a webinar on “Taking Your Functional Tests to the Next Level.” The webinar is on Friday, 26 Oct., at 11am US Eastern time.

You’ll find out how to create find logic that works ...

    How It's Made: The Stock History Demo

    Like much of the writing I do these days, the idea for this blog post was sparked by an innocuous-looking tweet from Justin King: In his tweet, Justin was referring to the Stock History demo we built to showcase Kendo UI DataViz: The Stock History demo charts and displays...

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM Meets ASP.NET Web API

    Microsoft has recently released their latest technology helping the N-Tier development – the ASP.NET Web API framework. If you haven’t had the opportunity to experience this new platform built around the HTTP protocol, here we try to address some of the key points about Web API services as answers to the most common questions you might be already asking:  What is Web API? ASP.NET Web API is the latest platform provided by Microsoft for creating HTTP-based services.  When can I use Web API? The Web API framework is not limited to any kind of architecture. You can build REST services on top of it or...

    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!
