    What Comes Next

    There has been a fair share of speculation and rumors around the upcoming Build conference lately, nobody can deny that. As of writing this blog post (Thursday, September 8th) Microsoft has managed to sell out a conference only just recently letting attendees know that there will in fact be two keynotes, Big Picture Sessions, and a few get-togethers. Folks are excited, excited about Windows development, and this is a good thing for everyone. Yup, that’s right—a Silverlight MVP is excited about what comes next. “Why?” You ask. Well, because I work with some very smart people. “Who?”...

    Easy Charting with JavaScript and HTML5

    One of the coolest things that HTML5 brings to the table is technology for doing rich visualizations directly in the browser. Think about it. For years, web developers have been forced to do one of three things if they want to present a rich visual element...

    Performance Testing: Laying the Groundwork

    Performance testing isn’t something you can slap together and figure out as you go. While you certainly can (and likely will!) adjust your approach as you move through your project, you do indeed need to sit down and get some specifics laid out around your testing effort before you begin working. First and foremost: set expectations and goals. Ensure everyone’s clear on why you’re undertaking the performance testing project. If you are looking to meet specific metrics for delivering your system then you’ll need to be extremely detailed and methodical in your initial coordination. Does your system have specific metrics ...

    The LOB Chronicles Episode 6 - Development Best Practices

    It is hard to believe that we are already moving into the sixth installment in this series. It seems like only yesterday we were musing over UX, utilizing our UX base to craft plans for a better UI, and making data considerations in regards to a model and an ORM. Crazy how time flies and how much work goes into a sample demo application before we even begin development! In honor of the Build conference next week I wanted to dive into our current codebase (TFS + Get Latest Version is our friend here, the developers don’t know I’m...

    The countdown to BUILD!

    Next week is the much-anticipated BUILD developer conference about the future of development on the Windows platform, and the public unveiling of Windows 8. Microsoft says that Windows 95 changed the PC and Windows 8 will “change everything.” Clearly, the hyperbole and hype are already running high. The conference has been under such secrecy that we have been told all phone conversations at Microsoft are being recorded to prevent leaks. Something big is going to happen and Telerik is excited to be part of it. We will have a big crew attending the event eager to watch the events...

    The New Kindle: Android Tablet Killer

    I have argued before that the Android tablet market is a mess and can’t compete with the iPad. I said that the Android manufacturers were developing a tabletized laptop while Apple was developing an “experience” centered around their integrated services.  I made the claim that only Amazon can really take on the iPad with its integrated experience and books, music, video service as well as its own AppStore. Last week it was leaked that Amazon is nearly done with a 7 inch Kindle branded Android tablet. It should sell for about $249 and hit the markets in October or November....

    Checklist: Deciding When to Develop with HTML5 and JavaScript

    If there is one truism in software development it is that there are no silver bullets. There is no "perfect" platform that should be used to tackle every software challenge. Not HTML5/JavaScript. Not XAML/.NET. Not Flash/AIR. Not anything yet invented. As long as different software projects have different requirements, there will...

    Using Email Notification in TeamPulse

    One of the new features introduced with TeamPulse R2 2011 is the Email Notifications.  With this feature we aimed to improve how TeamPulse handles the most important pillars in the Agile process – collaboration and communication. With TeamPulse R2 2011 you can now subscribe to receive email updates whenever a work item (user story, bug, issue, or risk) is updated. This way you can automate the process of tracking work item progress and save time.  With Agile teams, the desired method of communication is face to face discussions, but with today’s distributed teams, this is not always easy to do ...

    An Introduction to Performance Testing

    If you've been monitoring our roadmap or other announcement channels, you may have heard we’re bringing performance testing to Test Studio. This is a pretty exciting step for us, and it lets us bring some great functionality to help you continue to boost the quality of the software you’re delivering. I thought I’d take some time to lay down some of my opinions and experiences around performance testing in general as a bit of a lead in to later posts which will showcase our performance testing functionality. I’ll be writing a number of posts over the next few weeks to ...
