Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2012 SP1 is already available for download! Upgrade your projects now to leverage the newest improvements and get your issues fixed. I will try to summarize for you the most significant improvements in a minute. Before that though I just want to tell you we are proud to see less open bugs in our PITS and logs.

Communication struggles at a small company
I’ve spent my entire career at start-ups. I’m use to small. I once worked at a big table with everyone else employed at the company, resulting in pure bliss. One company that I started with three other guys got up to eight people before we were sold to a company with close to 7,000 people in 40 countries. I am most comfortable working side by side with my colleagues; unfortunately over the last 10 years it has not really worked out that way. Ten years ago I started Corzen with my partner Bruce. Our first office was the Starbucks on 6th and W 57th street in Manhattan. We got... -

From Telerik VP: Microsoft + ASP.NET + Open Source: This Time for Sure!
Bullwinkle: “Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of a hat!” Rocky: “Again? That trick never works!” Bullwinkle: “This time for sure!” In the last week or so, I’ve heard mixed reactions to Scott Hanselman’s eye-popping announcement that, in addition to ASP.NET MVC that is already open source, that Microsoft is releasing ASP.NET Web API and Razor as open source as well. Further, and this is the big deal: Microsoft is going to take contributions on their open source ASP.NET components and ship those contributions in the box for future major releases. Of course, this is big news on the face of it, but some... -

Writing a JustCode Code Cleaning Extension
I recently decided to clean up an open source project, and the best tool I found for the job was Telerik JustCode’s Code Clean option. If you’ve never tried it, open the JustCode Options, go to Code Cleaning, then use the drop down to select Full (built-in) and press the “Set as Default” button. If you wish, you can use the “New” or “Clone” button to set up your own profile that matches your coding style. Afterwards, return to a piece of code file and press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F and watch your (co-worker’s) code be processed into a thing of beauty. Opening a... -

Have an idea for a start-up? Don’t fall in love with it.
The news today is buzzing with the announcement of Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram for $1billion. Instagram co-founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, literally had a billion dollar idea. The idea for Instagram was also Systrom and Krieger’s Plan B. Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger raised $500k of seed funding from Baseline Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz while working on Plan A in early 2010. The original idea for Instagram was called Burbn, a check-in app that competed with Foursquare and allowed you to check-in to locations and add photos and videos to your check-in. Burbn’s focus was suppose to be a mash-up of Foursquare and Mafia Wars (where the name Burbn... -

Lazy Programming for Smarties
As a programmer, I can honestly say that I am lazy. Forget the menial job of repeating tasks... if it takes me an hour to complete an iteration, I would rather spend 3 hours automating the process. You never know when you might need to do it again, and the click of a button is much more satisfying than an hour of processing data. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way either, otherwise Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas wouldn’t have codified the DRY principle in The Pragmatic Programmer…. Don’t Repeat Yourself. Visual Studio makes it easy to be...
