"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.”... -

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... -
