A New Era in Application Development, Part I
Roughly speaking, we have had four “eras” in the computing industry, each era defined by the dominate platform at the time. The eras were: Mainframe Minicomputer Client-Server Web I believe that we are now entering a 5th era: the Device + Cloud era. Simply said, the Device + Cloud (D+C) era is defined by users having multiple devices and running thin applications that share data via the cloud on each of them. As your use of the devices goes up, you rely... -

Manually set tag colours in TeamPulse
With the release of TeamPulse 2011 R2 we have introduced the ability to create and assign tags to items within your backlog (stories, bugs, issues, and risks). When a new tag is created within a project it is assigned a random color from an internal list of colors. These colors can be helpful visual indicators, but what if your team wishes to add meaning behind the chosen colors? It sure would be nice to have the colors match up with the words in the screenshot above. While there currently is no in-app method for defining tag settings, those unafraid of ... -

One Year since TeamPulse V1
I can’t believe it’s only been a year since we launched our first version of TeamPulse. We actually announced to the world that Telerik was entering into the world of Agile Project Management tooling in April of 2010, however, our first “official” release wasn’t until July 27th of 2010. Today we released our 4th official release of TeamPulse; the 2011 R2 release: http://www.telerik.com/agile-project-management-tools/whats-new.aspx Our initial release shipped with what we thought were a “core” set of features that we could build upon very aggressively to support our long term vision: In our latest release, we really nailed some ... -

Our Strategy Has NOT Shifted – Telerik, HTML5 and Silverlight
Todd Anglin from our team posted a great blog entry yesterday. In it, he provides some interesting examination and commentary on Microsoft’s vision of the web, the birth of XAML technologies and the evolution of MS’s view on what the development experience for the web should be. Some of Todd’s main points are that We should not be terribly surprised by Microsoft’s swings in direction. The swings are driven by competitive pressure. HTML5+JS+CSS3 is a viable application development stack. You need good tooling for that (and he makes a gentle Kendo plug). The blog also received a number of interesting comments that made me think Todd was being... -

Location Crosshair for Silverlight Chart
Hello everyone, This blog post will demonstrate how to add location crosshair for RadChart as well as location indicator (achieved by two TextBlock-s that track the current mouse location). To achieve the crosshair functionality you will add two custom gridlines to the ChartArea (each of them parallel to one of the axes). Also, you will need three events – MouseEnter, MouseLeave and MouseMove to track the mouse cursor position and “move” the gridlines across the plot area. By handling the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events you’ll change the visibility of the gridlines to Visible and Collapsed whenever the mouse cursor enters or leaves the... -

Supporting a Dinosaur: Time to end IE6 support?
Like it or not (and, frankly, I’m not sure who likes it), IE6 is not yet 100% dead. Try as is it might, the web developer community and even Microsoft have failed to put this ancient, broken browser in the dust bin more than 10 years after its... -

The LOB Chronicles - Exploring User Experience (UX)
In the previous post we discussed a host of different things to introduce everyone to the LOB Chronicles project as well as the technologies (both Microsoft and Telerik) that are involved. With a combination of Silverlight, TeamPulse (build with the Telerik Xaml tools), RadControls for Silverlight, OpenAccess, and Test Studio, we’re ready to start planning out our application from the ground up. Before we write code, though, we want to take a step back and consider just who we’re designing this software for - which is where our UX experts come into play. Why UX? This is a great question and one... -

Keep Your Tests DRY
[Note: I covered this topic somewhat in my earlier post on maintainable tests; however, this concept is so critical, in my opinion, that it deserves a separate post. You’ll continue to hear lots about this practice from me as I write and speak more!] Test code should always be treated with the same care production code is – because test code IS production code! Your source code for your tests may not be deployed to your customers’ production servers, but it’s every bit as important as the components that are Approach the design, implementation, and maintenance of your ...May 27, 2021 4 min read -

Q3'11 Telerik AJAX/MVC Roadmaps
I know that some of you, fellow developers, are enjoying the hot summer days and took well-deserved vacations during this period of the year - spending them by the beach with an icy cocktail in hand and getting bronze tan.
