Lessons From Steve Jobs
A lot of people have posted tributes to Steve Jobs over the past week. I’ve seen him called the CEO of the Decade (something I agree with) and also compared to Henry Ford (I sort of agree with). I’d like to call attention to four lessons we can learn from Steve Jobs’ Apple, two positive and two negative. First the good: Apple avoided falling into the trap of the Innovator’s Dilemma Apple avoided falling into the trap of the Innovator’s Dilemma. In a nutshell, the Innovator’s Dilemma says the following (I am paraphrasing): when you invent something, first you are trying to penetrate a new market and convince people to buy your... -

StarWest Follow Up and Slide Deck
I’m at the John Wayne airport waiting on my flight back home from the StarWest conference. This was the first conference I’ve been at as a vendor – I’ve always been a visitor at the front of the booth, never behind it. I had to make some interesting mental changes, but it was a great experience once I got in the groove. Thursday morning I did a session called “Automation Isn’t Just Shiny Toys” where I discussed how to avoid some of the common pitfalls around automation: long running tests, brittle tests, tests which consume far too much time for ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

RadBulletGraph Architecture and Features
We introduced RadBulletGraph beta in the Q2 2011 SP1 release with the idea that the sooner we release a stable product the more time we will have to polish it and even implement user requirements before the final version. With this blog post I will explain how RadBulletGraph is structured internally and how this internal structure enables the features that it currently supports. With this in mind I kindly ask you, dear reader, to give your opinion on RadBulletGraph, to tell us what else you need or what can be done in a better way so that we can provide the best... -

RadChart for Windows 8 WinRT – The Compilation
This is part two of the RadChart for WinRT blog series. For more information please refer to the other parts of the series: Part one - A Prelude Part three - Taking its First Breath Now that we have successfully ported our Windows Phone Chart to WinRT I will share some tips and tricks about the whole process and what is different compared to Silverlight and WPF regarding code behind and XAML compilation. Code behind namespaces Both logical and visual tree hierarchies of Dependency Objects now reside in new namespaces and the old ones like System.Windows.Controls do not exist. This automatically breaks any existing C#/VB code. SL/WPF UI namespaces... -

RadGridView for WinForms conditional formatting – a matter of expressions
RadGridView provides numerous handful approaches to customize its appearance, even at runtime. For example, you could use formatting events or the Style property . However, sometimes it is handy to specify complex conditions in a script form. In our previous release we introduced an expression editor which allows for using formulas and expressions both at design time and runtime. In our next release we will introduce the same powerful feature for conditional formatting. You and your end-users will be able to target and style RadGridView cells and rows using powerful expressions. With the help of our existing rule-based conditional formatting you can easily highlight all cells... -

One of the challenges that comes with pure JavaScript UI is a nasty little user experience problem that I'm calling "Flash of Uninitialized JavaScript UI," or FOUJUI (rolls right off the tongue). FOUJI, similar to FOUC, occurs when: Your rich UI is initialized by JavaScript You rely... -
