    Introducing the LOB Chronicles - Building a CRM Demo

    Today we’re starting a new endeavor in the Xaml teams at Telerik to bring a new demo application your way.   The application that we have in mind is a Customer Relationship Management (better known as CRM) solution intended to help a fictional sales person through the trials and tribulations of his day-to-day experience.  Now keep in mind, we’re not looking to make an application that gets sold under the Telerik banner, rather this is an exercise to see how UX, design, architecture, and our team of eight can work together to produce and explain a brand new demo featuring some...

    Meet RadPivotMap and RadTreeMap (SL/WPF)

    With the Q2 2011 release the Data Visualization team at Telerik released a beta version of two new controls: RadPivotMap and RadTreeMap. These two controls represent Telerik’s offering for treemap type visualizations. Probably the first question that comes to mind is why have we shipped two separate controls for what seems to be the job for one? This question is what this blog post is about. Keep reading.     When we started our work on Telerik’s tree mapping product we took a step back and researched how these kinds of visualizations are used.

    Q2 2011 What's New for Windows Phone Wrap-up

    Hey Windows Phone lovers, it has been a busy two weeks since we had release webinar week.  We've seen the release of Visual Studio LightSwitch and the Telerik Hands-On-Labs that I wrote for that release, we've been prepping some really neat content that will start making some waves soon (check back tomorrow!), and of course we have been hard at work on creating learning resources to cover everything that was release during this latest round.  So of course part of that is packaging up the demos and slides from the Q2 presentations as well as covering some of the great...

    Constructors Made Easy with JustCode

    Constructors are a necessary element of class design that typically involves repetitive work. Language teams try to reduce verbosity by moving patterns into language features. Where this terseness doesn’t exist, tools such as Telerik JustCode can alleviate some of the work to make a smooth coding experience. Today, I will introduce a few features that make creating constructors easier. Blank Slate Let’s start with a simple Employee entity class.   public class Employee { public int Id { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } ...

    Working with Test-Hostile Web UIs

    Part of what I’ll be blogging about over the next few months is my journey to become an expert with Test Studio. I’m not an expert yet, but I do bring a long history of applying tooling and frameworks to solving real-world problems, and I’m going to be working through many of those same problems in short order—figuring out how to solve those same problems is an awesome way to learn a new tool or framework’s strengths and weaknesses. I hope that by sharing my discoveries I’ll help you work through some of the same common problems! First up in ...
