Getting Started with KendoUI and OpenAccess ORM
As many of you may know, KendoUI is a really awesome new JavaScript framework that combines everything needed for modern JS development into one sweet package.

What Makes End-Users and the Marketplace Love Your Windows Phone App?
An unusual thing happened at the Telerik Windows Phone team product planning meeting for Q1 2012 a few months ago. Instead of starting with our usual mantra “What does our customer need in order to build a great app?” we talked about love. What does love have to do with a mobile app you would ask? Well, a lot. Keep reading. The two questions we asked were: 1) What is it that will make the end-users love our customer’s Windows Phone app? 2) What is it that will make our customer’s app be loved by the Windows Phone marketplace? And here’s a preview...February 07, 2012 -

About RadTreeView for WinForms and its Supercharged engine
In Q1 2011 we introduced a highly improved version of the RadTreeView control which had all of its internal parts rebuilt in order to support full UI virtualization and customization. This allowed us to attach a new data engine that provided many new and useful features such as built-in filtering and sorting independent from the external data-sources, and support for CRUD operations. For Q3 2011 and Q3 2011 SP1 we made additional improvements to our data engine and in the synchronization between the UI and the data layers. Now, there are two questions which we have been asked lately: “Is the new RadTreeView...February 07, 2012 -

Telerik OpenAccess ORM – MVC Video Tutorials
We believe that the fastest way to learn how to use an OpenAccess model in your ASP.NET MVC 3 application is to watch a video tutorial. Therefore we have prepared some videos, guiding your OpenAccess ORM integration in an MVC project step by step. Of course, there are different approaches to that based on your needs and personal preferences – you might want to use the strong capabilities of our Visual Designer Database-First scenario to create your Domain Model or you can map everything using our Fluent Mapping API. In any case, each of the dedicated video series will guide you through the...February 07, 2012 -

How to Write a WinRT XAML Metro App on DevProConnections
Happy Monday, XAML lovers! For anyone who has been following along in the rumors space, things with Windows 8 are heating up and it looks like we may soon be seeing the "consumer preview", previously known as the Beta to us tech geeks. I for one welcome the proposed new Start button experience as well as anything else they manage to get into this next release (full disclosure, I was at Build and use that tablet almost as much as my work laptop... my iPad has become a glorified Kindle), especially if it has more developer goodness included. Getting...February 06, 2012

Using RadDiagnostics for WP7 to receive error reports anonymously
[Please download the attached project with full source code available.] Last week we released a Beta preview of Telerik RadControls for WindowsPhone. You can read more info on the 6 bright new components for Windows Phone here. RadDiagnostics was one of the released components which received a lot of attention from the Windows Phone developers.

One of the features with which RadDiagnostics was created in mind is to allow developers to receive anonymous crash reports without user interaction. By default the control will display a message box...February 06, 2012 -

Scope, Schedule, and Resources – You can’t have them all
Imagine the scene. You are starting a new project. At the kickoff meeting the stakeholder introduces the mission of the project, the business analyst hands out the requirements document, the project manager hands out the project plan, and the development manager gives his best “Do it for the Gipper” speech. You look through the project plan and see that it specifies a release date (several months in the future), the resources that will be involved, major milestones to be met, and everyone’s assignments. The team looks over the stack of paper in front of them, and roll their eyes. “Here we...February 03, 2012
