    Kendo UI says Namaste to Indian Developers

    Kendo UI is a client side HTML5 framework for building modern web and mobile applications. It is engineered for unmatched performance and minimal footprint.

    XAMLflix Introduces RadDragAndDrop

    Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadDragAndDrop for Silverlight and WPF. I hope you have been enjoying the series as last week we took a look at RadTreeView and RadDocking. What is XAMLflix you might ask? Well, it is Telerik’s way of teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from Telerik’s XAML suite. Each and every Thursday, we will provide a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control. Since our Silverlight and WPF share a common codebase and API, you only have to learn how to use these controls once! You can simply copy and...

    Call to Action: Make LESS Native in Modern Browsers

    It’s no secret. I’m a LESS fan. A BIG fan. If you’re not familiar with LESS, it’s an elegant CSS pre-processor that imbues the CSS syntax you already know with the kind of super powers you wish your styling language had out-of-the-box. Variables. Operations. Hierarchal rules. Mix-ins. LESS...

    Check out the new Exploratory Tool!

    UPDATED: I goofed and listed Quality Center as an option for pushing bug reports to—but we only integrate bugs with TeamPulse and Team Foundation Server. As much as I love them, automated tests (be they functional, integration, or unit) aren’t the end-all-be-all for your testing approach. Exploratory testing, particularly for any system of any consequence, is a critical part of your overall “Deliver Great Stuff!” strategy. Getting your team freed up from repetitive regression testing empowers them to put their brains to use as they poke around the corners of your system. Exploratory testing gives you tremendous value as your ...

    Time Saving Features For MVC Developers

    I recently started reacquainting myself with the Telerik MVC Extensions, and it seems I had forgotten just how awesome they are! I want to talk about a few of the less known features I find really awesome in the extensions.

    The Present and Future of Using JSON in WebForms

    JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the way to handle data on the client these days. It really is the cat’s pajamas. Almost all the client-side widgets or libraries that you’ll be working with will most likely be utilizing JSON, and sending large chunks of data over the wire as JSON as opposed to other bulky forms of data can lead to some dramatic performance increase across any application. I often come across individuals not sure of what JSON is, or how they can use it today, and I wanted to address this issue in a blog post. Of course I...
